The Metal band Metallica have announced a massive European tour for 2019, including stadium shows in Manchester and London on June 18 next year, before heading to London’s Twickenham Stadium on June 20.
They’ve lined up a total of 25 stadium shows which will get under way in Lisbon, Portugal, on May 1, and conclude with a performance in Mannheim, Germany, on August 25. Ghost and Bokassa will have been named as special guests.
They’ll be supported on the jaunt by Ghost and Bokassa – who were previously hailed by drummer Lars Ulrich as his “favourite band”.
Metallica are among the most popular rockers of all time, having released 10 successful studio albums since forming in 1981.
The band have landed seven Top 10 albums in their 35-year career, three of which reached Number 1, including their 1991 self-titled record.
“We’re returning to Europe in the summer of 2019 for a run of outdoor gigs at stadiums, parks, and even one at a castle!” the band say. “Our friends Ghost and Bokassa will be joining us along the way”.
Metric’s Emily Haines said ‘There’s been a surge in the awareness of sexism, but any working woman will tell you this is not new’.
“Hello there, all our furry feathered friends,” said drummer of the band Lars Ulrich, stood beside bandmates Robert Trujillo and James Hetfield. “It’s three quarters of Metallica hitting you from Copenhagen”.
