Metallica will stream the final rehearsal before the launch of their North American tour via Facebook Live from M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD on May 9.
“We’re coming down the home stretch before the North American WorldWired tour starts in Baltimore next week and we are beyond excited to see all of you out there on our first proper tour of this part of the world since 2009,” says Metallica. “To kick off the celebrations, we’re inviting you to get a sneak peek of what to expect this summer by checking out our rehearsal the night before the first show via the magic of streaming video on Facebook Live.
“In a little show very cleverly titled “Now That We’re Live” we’ll bring rehearsals on Tuesday, May 9th live to your computer, tablet, mobile device or any other way you reach the internet at 9:00 PM EDT.
“Tune into Metallica.com or head over to our Facebook page to see a few songs and catch a glimpse of the all-new massive production hitting the road this summer.”
Metallica fan club members have a chance to win passes to the rehearsal; full details are available at metallica.com
"We are psyched to share some of our rehearsals and final pre-production run-through with our friends around the world,” adds Lars Ulrich, “and we hope you'll come hang with us as we fire up the engines for the North American Summer run."
Metallica will launch their first trek across the continent in eight years at the same venue in Baltimore on May 10.
The group will be joined by Avenged Sevenfold and Volbeat, with Gojira on board for select dates.
“Hardwired…To Self-Destruct” recently achieved platinum status in the US for sales of 1 million copies.
