It was announced today Metallica will stop at Vancouver's Rogers Arena on Friday, August 24th. Ticket releases will go on sale Friday, May 25th at 10AM. Metallica will perform their catalogue of hits amidst a mind-blowing 360-degree stage that needs to be seen to be believed. This 140x50-foot stage will feature colossal components and striking visual elements spanning Metallica's entire 30-year career. "Our rabid Canadian fans will love this sick as fuck, over the top, out of control stage that will be the cornerstone of our touring escapades for the next years to come," said Metallica's Lars Ulrich. "Don't be scared boys and girls, this is going next level."
