Metallica Kicks Off Tour Leg With Rarities

(hennemusic) Metallica opened the European spring/summer leg of its World Wired tour at the Est�dio Do Restelo in Lisbon, Portugal on May 1st and broke out some rarities.

The band's first show since the completion of a North American arena run in March saw several new additions to the set, including four tour debuts: 1986's "Disposable Heroes", 1991's "The God That Failed", 2003's "Frantic" and 2014's "Lords Of Summer."

Metallica were joined by Swedish rockers Ghost and Bokassa on opening night; the pair will be along for the 25-date series, which will wrap up in Mannheim, Germany in late August.

"Lisbon! Thanks for joining us in kicking off the summer stadium tour!" posted Metallica after the show, alongside a recap video of the event with a soundtrack featuring an orchestral arrangement of their 1991 classic, "Nothing Else Matters." Watch videos from the show including the rarities here.
