METALLICA Tour To Kick Off In October

May 15, 2008

Mitchell Peters of Billboard.biz reports: With a handful of U.S. and overseas festival and concert dates lined up this summer, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich has revealed that the band will follow the September release of its new as-yet-untitled album with a tour.

The trek will begin in October, Ulrich said last night (May 14) during an intimate benefit concert at Los Angeles' 2,300-capacity Wiltern Theatre.

"That was the first show of the tour," announced METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett, who, along with his bandmates, shredded through a nearly two-hour set with such thrashy hits as "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Fuel", "Master of Puppets", "...And Justice for All", "Enter Sandman", and "Seek And Destroy", among others.
