Metallica have checked in with the following announcement:

"Yesterday we told you about a show just down the road from us in Los Angeles, today’s announcement takes us across the world to Shanghai, China and back to the Mercedes-Benz Arena on January 15th, 2017. We’re very excited to return to Shanghai, the only city in China we were able to visit when we traveled to the country for the first time in 2013. We fell in love with the city and its people, so it was a must for this trip!

Tickets will be available on December 13th starting at 2:00 PM through the ticketing hotline 400-610-3721 and online via Damai.cn.

There just might be room for one more while we’re in Asia... keep watching..."

Metallica, currently flying high with widespread positive reaction to their new album Hardwired...To Self Destruct, will play a special intimate show on at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, CA on December 15th. They have checked in with the following update:

"Greetings from HQ, a place we’ve rarely been recently! And we’re about to head out once again, this time for a quick trip south to spend some time with our friends in the media in Los Angeles. If you’ve been following along, by now you’ve figured out that while interviews and photo shoots are great fun, we can’t visit without playing live too! So, we’re back to invite you to join us at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood next week on Thursday, December 15th for our second to last show of this year!
