Metallica fans in Latin America will get to hear some of their new songs first, as they will head there next month.
In a statement the band says, “It’s on! As we put the finishing touches on [the new album] Hardwired…To Self-Destruct, we’re also getting ready to hit the road for the first of many headlining shows around the world. To kick it all off, we’re returning to five cities we know will absolutely rock hard with all kinds of crazy Metalli-love and get this tour started right! First up, we travel to Latin America with stops in Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Colombia, Guatemala and Costa Rica. We can’t think of a better place to get the juices flowing and set the table for many more shows to come!”
The new album is due out on November 18th. Aside from their set on September 24th at the Global Citizen Festival in New York, they haven’t announced any U.S. dates.
