This tour comes hot on the heels of Slipknot's Knotfest tour with Gojira, Volbeat, and Behemoth this July through September. On the one hand, that makes for a grueling year for the Iowan nine-piece; on the other, when Metallica ask you to open for them, you're probably all right with a little jet lag.
Tickets for Metallica's Australian tour go on sale on Monday, March 18th.
