The World Magnetic Tour is a current concert tour by heavy metal band Metallica, taking place in 2008 and 2009 in support of their ninth studio album Death Magnetic.
Metallica announced the first batch of dates on August 11, 2008. Three extra dates were added on August 27 in Los Angeles, Chicago and Newark and the first 11 dates of a European leg were added on October 14 and October 15, 2008, with more dates announced throughout the following days. There are still more dates to be announced.
The support bands are changing throughout the tour. All October and November shows featured The Sword and Down. All December shows featured Lamb of God (except for the two shows at The Forum, December 17 and December 18, where Machine Head supported due to Lamb of God being banned from the venue), and The Sword and also Up In Arms. All January shows featured Machine Head and The Sword. January saw the announcement of a brand new festival at Knebworth Park in August 1 and 2 alongside Linkin Park named Sonisphere. The three shows at Mexico featured Avenged Sevenfold and Resorte. Metallica will headline all dates of the Sonisphere Festivals which take place in five other European countries during July.[1]
