Apocalyptica unveil U.S. Tour dates performing Metallica with special guest Nita Strauss

Apocalyptica has announced a U.S. run performing Metallica once again in early 2025. The tour dubbed, "Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol. 2" will feature support from Nita Strauss. 

Tickets will go on sale Friday, June 14th at 10 AM local time. 

Band leader Eicca Toppinen shared the following:

We just loved Metallica and we wanted to play it with the instruments we were able to play, which just happened to be cellos. We played a metal club in Helsinki, and then we were asked to do an album. Five months after it was released, we were opening for Metallica. It's still unbelievable to me.
