Metallica concert chronology

The World Magnetic Tour is a current concert tour by Metallica, taking place in 2008 and 2009 in support of their ninth studio album Death Magnetic.

Metallica announced the first batch of dates on Monday, August 11, 2008.

The support bands are changing throughout the tour. All October and November shows will feature The Sword and Down.
