Ever since Blabbermouth.net released an article about a rumored Metallica tour, fans have taken to social media to express their speculations and excitement.
This past Monday, February 6, Blabbermouth released an article on their website stating that a Metallica tour featuring Avenged Sevenfold and Volbeat would be announced in the near future. However, they did not provide a source to this information. In an updated article on Friday, February 10, Blabbermouth released that the tour is expected to be announced on Monday, February 13.
Metallica and Live Nation released a short clip to their Twitter pages that read only "Monday." This is being seen as a clue to the upcoming news. Avenged Sevenfold also released a photo featuring the text "2.17.17" in front of their famous deathbat logo to their Instagram page.
This would be exciting for three generations of music fans. Metallica are a classic, while Avenged Sevenfold appeals to a middle generation audience, and Volbeat to a newer age of metal fans.
The news is especially exciting to Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica fans: the groups have not toured in over seven years.
Until Monday, fans will be waiting with bated breath in hopes that this power trio of metal bands hit the road together this summer.
