Metallica

After a triumphant summer European tour, Metallica will return to rock North America this fall for the second leg of their sold-out World Magnetic Tour. The multi-platinum hard-rock band will criss-cross the U.S. and Canada from September 14th through December 12th in support of their platinum-selling 10th studio album, Death Magnetic, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart in September 2008 and won 2009 Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance (for the track "My Apocalypse") and Best Recording Package.

Metallica launched their first proper tour of the United States and Canada in four years in October 2008 to rapturous reviews. The Los Angeles Times raved that the two-hour set "unleashed the powerful exchange of energies that defines Metallica`s purpose and its appeal," while the New York Post noted that "James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich destroyed any notion that their old bones are ready for the museum by sticking to the three V`s of metal music: volume, velocity, and virtuosity."
