When he’s not on stage before we play hosting the Light It Up Pre-show Party, Jim’s going to be out and about playing his own shows in your town. Catch one of his shows and you might be lucky enough to be part of the Light It Up party the next night!

It is the last day before school’s out in Helsinki. The last day before summer break that we will hear “Hardwired” kick the teeth of WorldWired attendees down the back of their necks. The last day before summer break (which in itself is something else – no Metallica gigs during a summer!) that we will revel in drones and fire. The last day before summer break that we will see Metallica bringing the WorldWired Tour to even more people in ever more wide-ranging global climbs. The last day before what appears to these eyes an extended, well-earned break. A vacation. Oh, how naïve can one get?!
