Metallica concert chronology

The World Magnetic Tour is a current concert tour by heavy metal band Metallica, taking place from 2008 through 2010 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. The three shows at Mexico featured Avenged Sevenfold and Resorte. January saw the announcement of a brand new festival at Knebworth Park in August 1 and 2 alongside Linkin Park named Sonisphere. Metallica will headline all dates of the Sonisphere Festivals which take place in five other European countries during July.[2]

On June 4, 6 and 7 Metallica played in Mexico City and on July 7 on Nimes, France. All these shows were recorded live and will be featured on a new DVD.[3] The Nimes DVD will be released on October 19, while the Mexico City DVD release date has not yet been announced.
