November 18th. Do you know what that is? If you’re a metal fan, or more specifically a Metallica fan, you’re aware that it’s the release date of Metallica’s Hardwired… To Self Destruct. Lars Ulrich revealed that the band will be touring the States next year, which is pretty exciting. However, if you’re in South America, you should be even more excited, as the band announced that they’d be playing a handful of dates before the album’s release, kicking off at the end of October. We’d imagine that the band might release another song aside from the title track before then, so we might see the live debut of another track before the album is out. Either way, we’re psyched, and if you’re reading this in South America, you’re probably already making plans to attend. Here’s where the tour is headed:

10/26 San Juan, PR @ Coliseo de Puerto Rico
10/29 Quito, ECU @ Parque Bicentenario
11/01 Bogota, COL @ Hipodromo De Los Andes
11/03 Guatemela City, GUA @ Estadio Cements Progreso
11/05 San Jose, CR @ Estadio Nacional
