“Hang on to your tickets as they will be honoured for the new dates; where applicable, refund information [can be found here] and we encourage you to visit the website or location where you purchased your tickets for additional updates.

“We wish you, your families, and loved ones good health during these trying times. We cannot wait to spend time in person with our extended Metallica family when it’s safe to all be together again!”
