Tickets will be available for the general public beginning Feb. 17 at 10 a.m. local time here. Every ticket purchase also includes your choice of a standard physical or standard digital copy of Hardwired…To Self-Destruct.

In addition to the tour announcement, the band also announced the formation of their All Within My Hands Foundation in collaboration with Crowdrise, with donations going to support “national, local and Bay Area charities that the individual band members support,” as well as music education programs and local food banks. Read more about the foundation here.

Last night, Metallica were joined by Lady Gaga tonight at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards to perform “Moth To Flame.” Unfortunately, singer James Hetfield's mic was producing no sound for most of the performance. As they say, the show must go on, so Hetfield shared a mic with Gaga for the majority of the show. Despite the technical difficulty, they put on an explosive performance.
