Wednesday night (5/10) Metallica began their United States dates of their WorldWired Tour in Baltimore. M&T Stadium was the venue and following opening acts Avenged Sevenfold and Volbeat, Metallica took the stage to launch their first tour of American stadiums in nearly 20 years.
The stage had giant balloons that displayed the “Hardwired” LP cover. Large video screens stretched to the upper rafters of the venue. Fireballs, fireworks and 40-foot high flames surrounded the rock gods blasted through a 15-song set and an additional 3-song encore.
The tour will consist of 25 dates and will conclude in August. They will also headline a night at Outside Lands the weekend of August 11th.
