Metallica have announced details of a North American tour.

And, after initially kicking off live dates in support of 10th album Hardwired… To Self-Destruct in North America in May 2017, they’ve now decided on a further 33 shows which will span the rest of 2018 and into 2019.

The shows will kick off on September 2 at Madison’s Kohl Center and wrap up in March 13 next year with a performance at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids.
