When Metallica announces a long world tour, they put the emphasis on long.

The band has announced European tour dates behind their album Hardwired…to Self Destruct for latter 2017 and into 2018.

Hardwired is currently riding high on the U.S. charts thanks to redemption for copies of the album with ticket sales with the album at number 2 this week and a prediction that it will retain that position on next week’s chart.

Presale for the European dates will start for Legacy Met Club members on Tuesday, March 21 starting at 10 AM and Fifth Members the same day at 11 AM. General sales begin Friday, March 24.
