After taking barely two months off, Metallica have returned to Europe for the 13th leg of their WorldWired Tour! And once again, they've switched up their 18-song setlist. They kicked things off Lisbon, Portugal at the Estadio do Restelo.
The rock gods kicked off with "Hardwired" - per usual. But by the second song, the tour saw a new track pop up - they switch out "Atlas, Rise!" for "Disposable Heroes" off Master of Puppets! It hadn't been part of a Metallica tour since 2015.
Next they added back "Ride the Lightning" followed by another tour debut - "The God that Failed." The latter track hadn't been performed since 2012. They moved "Here Comes Revenge," "Sad But True" and "Moth Into Flame" a few spots up the setlist.
Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo continued their tradition of adding a local touch to a track on the setlist. Last night, the two solo'd tracks by Portuguese band Censurados and Xutos & Pontapes, while also playing parts from “ManUNkind” and “Orion.” This was all during "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)."
Following this track came another tour debut, "Frantic," which was performed for the first time since 2011! They ended the set with "Seek & Destroy" before coming back out for their 3-song encore. They hit it off with one last tour debut, and the live debut of the final studio version of "Lords of Summer."
The night ended as it always does with their two biggest hits "Nothing Else Matters" and "Enter Sandman"!
