Australia and New Zealand Metallica World Magnetic tour dates have now been confirmed!
Metallica’s Lars Ulrich has talked to the Rolling Stone about the World Magnetic tour in support of Death Magnetic and the future plans for the tour. “We’re booked up through August of next year, and right now we’re sort of laying out Fall of ‘09 and the Spring of ‘10. We’re waiting for a few other countries to be actually formalized as nations so we can be the first band in. We’re also waiting for the polar caps to stabilize so we can go play there. There’s talk about some other planets too.”
Confirmed tour dates at this point in time for 2010 are South America and Europe. See Metallica South American and European 2010 tour dates here.
Rumor has it that Metallica will announce Asia/Australia tour concerts for late 2010. See more on Metallica’s Australia and Asia tour 2010.
“It’s great to be back indoors,” says Metallica’s Lars Ulrich. “We’re right in the thick of it in the middle of the arena. It completely exposes every nuance and that adds a real tone of vitality and excitement.”
Metallica setlist changes from night to night on the World Magnetic tour, but Metallica always end with 1983’s Seek And Destroy. “We’ve probably ended our last 200 shows with that song,” says Metallica’s Lars Ulrich. “The 17 or 18 songs before that get mixed up every night, to the point of ridiculousness. So having a slight bit of predictability at the end gives people the chance star thinking about putting their coats on and remembering what fucking parking lot they were in.”

“But we just figured that with all the love for Death Magnetic, and all the love for all the back to the old style and all that, now’s a great time to play all those like, all those commercial Load and ReLoad songs. We played a song from St. Anger you’ve got to give St. Anger some love. A guy was doing an interview from a couple of weeks ago said, ‘You know that album? You know an album called Born Again?’ Of course I do. Black Sabbath, Zero the Hero, one of the best Black Sabbath albums. He goes ‘exactly, that’s exactly my point.
In twenty years from now, St Anger will be Black Sabbath’s Born Again’ ‘Cos when Born Again came out, everybody hated it, and now it’s one of the most revered Black Sabbath albums. You wait and see, St Anger will be Born Again.
Listen, you know, in ‘04, the first show in Phoenix, we started this sing called Live Metallica, which is the dot com or something, where you go and you can download show but within two days of when we played it. Since that show, we haven’t played the same set list twice. And we’ve played probably what, two hundred shows since then, so every night we change the set list, and that’s kind of what keeps us alive and keeps it interesting, because you do different stuff every night. On the St. Anger tour we probably pulled from maybe sixty songs every night, so every night’s different, and that’s what we’re planning on doing. But you know, remember that on the never ending tour in the nineties, we played so much black album, Load, Reload stuff. Then on the St. Anger tour and since then, we’ve played so much of the stuff from the eighties because we played so much of the stuff from the nineties.
We’re looking forward to, we’ve got Machine Head with us in America, we’ve got Lamb of God coming. We’re kind of, we’re splitting it up to a bunch of smaller legs and so we’re gonna take Machine Head for a while, Lamb of God for a while, Down for a while.
Maybe at some point later, take Masted I mean we want to, all those bands are so cool, we wanna try and get them all out there and get our fans turned on to them and so on. We are, there’s a band from Austin Texas called The Sword, who is gonna be the opener for most of the tour, because they’re just so cool that they have to stay with us the whole time. And then we’re gonna rotate, we’re actually gonna take two bands with us, which we’ve never done before, which is great to try and just give back to the kids, get as bands an opportunity to come out and play with us. So The Sword’s gonna open for most of it, and then we’re gonna rotate the middle slot, it’ll be cool.”

PEOPLE WHO HATE METALLICA ARE FUCKWADS
JAJAJJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA1permítame que me ría de
esos ECUACACAS muertos de hambre que viven solo gracias a Manuel
Prado que les regaló el territorio donde está el petróleo que tienen ahora,y
todavía nos llaman simios si todos sus chimpancés paisanos son igualitos de
feos y chancados que “Toño Palomino”,pobrecitos no figuran en el mapa de
conciertos:Duran Duran,Cyndi Lauper,Kylie Minogue,B52s,New York Dolls,
Oasis,KISS,Depeche Mode,Pet Shop Boys,RATT,Whitesnake,Faith no More,
Lost Paradise,Jesus Mary Chain,Skid Row,REM,Travis,Killers,Peter Gabriel,
Satriani,Brett Anderson,Backstreet Boys,Boccelli y otros no se han dado
cuenta que existe ese país de hambreados y rateros llamado Licuador,no
te preocupes mono cobarde ya vienen Metallica,Guns and Roses,Jane´s
Addiction aparte que McCartney,U2,A-ha,Cure,Greenday y aun AC/DC parece que vienen a partir de abril,que te arda el culo de envidia mas de lo que te
arde hoy malparido,mediocre y envidioso COBARDE Y MARICON PTM.
No vale la pena discutir con retardados mentales, ARRIBA EL PERÚ CARAJO! … rebuznen lo que rebuznen esos bolivianos que alucinan tener mar y creerse blancos, les corroe la envidia de que nuestro país esté por infinitos años luz por encima de ellos al igual que esos ecuatorianos, DEFINITIVAMENTE NO EXISTEN, EN LO ÚNICO QUE PUEDEN SER MEJOR ACTUALMENTE ES EN EL FÚTBOL, PERO NI ESO PORQUE IGUAL TENEMOS MÁS HISTORIA FUTBOLÍSTICA QUE ELLOS, por sus cielos jamás pasará ningún artista de renombre, POR QUE EL GLAMOUR Y LA FAMA SE HA HECHO PARA LOS SUELOS BENDITOS LLENOS DE PROGRESO Y GENTE CÁLIDA QUE SABE APRECIAR EL ARTE Y LA CULTURA. COSA QUE JAMÁS NI ECUATORIANOS NI BOLIVIANOS EN SU MAYORÍA TENDRÁN. QUE LES ARDA EL ORTO Y SALUDAN POR FAVOR CON MUCHO AFECTA A SU BENDITA PROGENITORA. HASTA PRONTO PERDEDORES. SI PUEDEN NACIONALICENSE Y DEJEN DE ENVIDIARNOS.
Después los ecuatorianos dicen que los peruanos somos los que insultamos primero …………ahí está una prueba de que ellos son los que insultan primero, me atrevo a decir que es la misma persona que está escribiendo……sólo demuestran la enorme envidia que tienen al Perú de que tengamos conciertos de calidad…primero areglen sus problemas internos que tienen, critiquen a sus gobernantes para que hagan las cosas bien y puedan disfrutar de verdaderos espectáculos………….

It’s a hoot!
I think something that Metallica don’t understand is that they would sell shitloads of tickets within minutes of their release for an Australian tour. Metallica have so many Australian fans. Instead of going to the UK again and again, I think it’s about time they came here. They’ve never even had a real, hard out Australian tour.
Exactly,
They need to do something in Australia like what AC/DC is doing currently, that is, 2 or 3 shows in each capital city. Ue the same stadiums that AC/DC are using, and they will sell out all the shows, and everyone will get to go.
please metallica come to austarlia i would have a heart attack! if i came hear and i think the tickets would sell out in seconds!!! trust me soooo plaese come please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey I’m frm Nepal nd currently I’m in Sydney nd if they came here that will b my lyftym experince nd honour to see them. it is one of my dream Bcoz in my country it’ll never happen. Metallica is my fav band nd I’ll do anything to see them it’ll b fuckin awesome if they came to australia.

theres no point you guys, its a little late to plead to them now. weve started 2010!!!! ALREADY!!!!
All Australian metallica fans are thinking now that you dont care about us anymore…..cause you said in 2004 that “Five years are too long” and “cant wait to come back in another 5!”…….you never came…….have you forgotten us?
Also, What ‘Milo’ and ‘Suraz’ are sying up there isnt the truth. Metallica dont do it just for the money, but for the fun, and for the fans…..thought you would have known that……
@ metalheadfrmoz they dunt do it jus for fan and fun, they do it for money aswell bcoz Lars Ulrich, he is money minded man. I hope metallica will this nd they dun’t make us upset. Alchollica rulzzzz forever….
I hope they come to aus, cause i live in tas and would fly up to see them, Plus, i think st. Anger is my favourite album! METALLICA!!!!!! KILL EM ALL!
Hey Suraz, I KNOW Lars Ulrich is a VERY smart buisnessman but all i am saying is they dont do it JUST for the money, they do it ALSO to see there loyal fans, loving the hard work they’ve gone though.thats all. Plus, I am not having a go at you or anything, cause im only 12. but dont underestimate me because of my age, TRUST me, I know Just as much as you do….K?
metalheadfromoz, here here! unfortunatly i dont think us aussies are more than a blip on the radar to metallica! prob come for 2 shows in melbourne and sydeny and piss off back to the states!!! which for me living in adelaide would suck big time!!!!!!! what was it in 04 “see you all in 4 years time!!!” james said! here we are 6 years later the new albulm is going to be 2-3 years old! they mention machine head and lamb of god as who they are touring with, well ive seen lamb of god and machine head three times each in the last 4 years still waiting to see metallica!!!! sorry i think waiting has made me bitter, its only cos metallica is the best band to ever walk the earth and id kill my own mother just to see them live!
Hey metalheadfromoz, I’m nt underestemating u I respect all the people who they r nd watever they r. Look Aussie got diehard fan like other country do bt they still haven’t plan to tour Australia soo all tht we can do is waiting them.
