Metallica's‬ 2018 North American tour coming to Pittsburgh

Heavy metal band Metallica is embarking on a 34-date North American tour this fall and winter. The band announced the WorldWired Tour Monday.

Rolling Stone reported that the arena tour, which starts Sept. 2 in Madison, Wisconsin, and ends in March 2019, includes visits to some states the band hasn't been to in decades.

In 2017, Metallica went on a 25-date North American stadium tour, which was the eighth leg of the tour in support of the band’s album, “Hardwired... To Self-Destruct.” The album, which is the band’s 10th, was released Nov. 18, 2016.

Metallica last toured El Paso, Texas, Birmingham, Alabama and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, 25 years ago, according to Rolling Stone.

Fan club pre-sale starts Feb. 27. General public tickets go on sale March 2 at Live Nation.
