Metallica's final North American show in Edmonton, in Alberta, Canada, from this leg of their WorldWired tour will be live streamed on Wednesday, beginning around 10:45 p.m. ET. In support of last year's Hardwired… to Self-Destruct, the tour is the band's biggest trek yet and their first North American tour in eight years. It's also their first stadium run in almost two decades. It kicked off in May in Baltimore at M&T Bank Stadium.




"Not a lot of bands have been jumping from the middle to the top," Lars Ulrich told Rolling Stone*when discussing their stadium run, citing U2 as his role model for how bands get bigger. "Guns N' Roses have been around for 30 years, AC/DC have been around 45, we've been around for 130 years – it's an odd thing. Sometimes it's like, 'Holy fuck, we're playing stadiums. What if somebody finds out that we shouldn't be playing stadiums?'"
