WorldWired Tour

The WorldWired Tour was a concert tour by the American heavy metal band Metallica in support of their tenth studio album Hardwired... to Self-Destruct, which was released on November 18, 2016. It is also their first worldwide tour after the World Magnetic Tour six years earlier.

Background

The tour started on October 26, 2016, in Puerto Rico, followed by four more dates on the Latin American tour.

A performance at the 59th annual Grammy Awards on February 12, 2017, was also a part of the tour.

The tour has grossed $430 million and was attended by more than 4.1 million people from 139 concerts, three years since it began in 2016 and now is the 5th highest-grossing tour of 2010s and 20th of all time.

The tour ended on August 25, 2019, in Mannheim, Germany. The band had plans to continue the tour in late 2019 and early 2020, but the tour dates in Australia were cancelled because of issues James had with alcohol, while the South American leg was postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
