Metallica's Reload Remaster: New Box Set, Tour Dates

0:00It's April 28th. This is Music News Today, music coverage powered by AI. Metallica just dropped news on their remastered reload album, Hitting Shows, June 26th, through Blackened Recordings. This seventh studio classic went quadruple platinum back in the day, with bangers like Fuel, The Unforgiven 2, and The Memory Remains. It's been polished up by Ruben Cohen at Lerson Mastering, with Greg Fidelman, calling the shots, and packs unreleased demos, rough mixes, live cuts, and TV clips. The release comes in flavors like 180g double LP, a Walmart exclusive color version, CD, 3 CD expanded edition, cassette, and digital downloads. But the real collector's gem is the limited edition Deluxe Box set, a one-time numbered run, with 15 CDs of rare riffs, B-sides, and live stuff. Plus 4 DVDs of footage, from shows, TV spots, and even band trips to Seoul.

1:00Fans are losing it over the nostalgia, and that hype mirrors the demand exploding their Las Vegas sphere residency. What started as 8 shows from October 1st to 31st, has ballooned with 6 more dates, stretching into March 20th, 2077. The band says it's all about reinventing live vibes for the fans. Meanwhile, they're hitting the road hard first. Catch them on UK and European dates this year, including two nights at London Stadium in July, after stops in Dublin, Glasgow, and Cardiff. Then in November, a no-repeat weekend at Mohegan, Sonorina, in Ankersville, Connecticut, celebrating the venue's 25th birthday, with suicidal. Tendency's opening night one in SpiroBox on night two. Kirk Hammett's stacking 767 fresh riffs for the next album after 72 seasons dropped in 2023, so expect. More fire soon. Metallica's keeping the metal machine rolling strong.
