Apocalyptica are thrilled to announce a massive tour in support of the follow-up to their legendary debut record. PLAYS METALLICA VOL. 2 TOUR will continue the journey that began in 1996 when cellists from Helsinki’s world-renowned Sibelius Academy played symphonic tribute to the biggest of the big four – heavy metal titans Metallica. Countless shows later, the classically-minded dynamos are returning to their roots to bring a legendary story full circle.

Founding band-leader Eicca Toppinen comments: “It’s incredible to think that after all these years our tribute to Metallica still speaks so powerfully to people. To be able share our love for Metallica’s music with the live audience is an absolutely magical experience. This time the show is going to be next level, and we can’t wait to get back out there and share the fun with our fans!”
