Metallica's tour has just gotten better with the addition of Beastie Boys’ Mix Master Mike

We thought it was impossible for a tour featuring Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat amd Gojira to get any better but it turns out that it surely can.

Metallica has revealed that the legendary Mix Master Mike will be joining them on tour.

Metallica revealed through amazing news through a statement on their website. Check it out below!

“The party will roll all night long during the North American WorldWired tour as we’re psyched to announce that award-winning DJ and producer Mix Master Mike will be spinning some of your favorite (and ours!) hard rock and metal tracks throughout the evening at all of the stadium dates this summer. A pioneer in the hip-hop and DJ communities, you’ll be able to catch his skillful, hard-hitting scratch work once the doors open each night and between acts before we hit the stage.

Named as “the world’s greatest DJ” by USA Today, Mix Master Mike has won Grammys, been inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Beastie Boys, spun at the Vancouver Winter Olympics and the Emmy’s, and has created music that has been featured on major television networks. In 2016, he was invited to the White House by former President Barack Obama to perform at the Kennedy Center Honors 36th Gala honoring Herbie Hancock.

We are so honored and feel extremely lucky that Mix Master Mike has signed on for this adventure. See you in May!”

Mix Master Mike has also toured with Blink-182's Travis Barker, along with performing with the drummer on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Conan. Check out that performance on Kimmel below!
