Tour Notes:
The 16-leg, 178-show “WorldWired” tour has been touring, off and on, since Feb. 2016. The tour’s final North American leg ran from Sept. 2018-March 2019 before the band headed to Europe for the summer months. They they returned to team up with the San Francisco Symphony for two big S&M gigs (Symphony and Metallica) to open Chase Center in Sept. 2019. Shows in the U.S. in May and September had to be scrubbed due to Covid-19, but the just-released S&M2 live album, recorded last year, is now topping the Billboard rock charts. If Covid-19 conditions permit, more “WorldWired” shows could happen in South America this December and in Sacramento next fall.
