Metallica Could Be Touring New Zealand And Australia In The Near Future

It has been several years since heavy metal band Metallica has visited the countries of Australia and New Zealand.

Well metal heads in both countries might be seeing them next year because the band is targeting both countries in their current WorldWired tour.

As of this moment, the WorldWired Tour has taken the band all across Europe and North America. This will continue until the end of 2018, but 2019 looks like the band will finally be able to visit New Zealand, Australia and Japan.

As reported by the NZ Herald, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich answered a fan question on the MetClub website about possibly going down under very soon. You can read his comments on the matter posted down below.

"We've got to just sit and look. There's Japan, there's Australia, there's New Zealand. There's a couple other pockets that obviously Metallica has a long and very cool relationship with, so we just got to sit down and figure it out. "But to me the most important thing is...the maintenance thing. We've got to go to Japan, we got to go to Australia, we've got to go here, we've got to go there. That's fine. As long as it's done within the boundaries that exist.. And so you know, I don't think whether it's '19 or '20 or whatever, to me we're in a mode where there's a balance to it now that's manageable."

Metallica last toured Australia during the Soundwave Festival in early 2013 while they last visited the country of New Zealand in 2010. It's been years since fans have seen them so hopefully they try and visit both countries very soon.
