How many shows did Metallica's Wherever We May Roam Tour play?
Answer
250 shows
Metallica's Wherever We May Roam Tour played 250 shows.
The tour began on August 1, 1991, and ended on May 8, 1993. It supported Metallica's fifth studio album, commonly known as The Black Album, and included dates across North America, Europe, Mexico, Asia, Australasia, and South America.
The tour's name is often confused with the album song Wherever I May Roam. Metallica members sometimes referred to the tour as Wherever I May Roam in interviews, but the listed tour title is Wherever We May Roam. The itinerary also overlapped with the Guns N' Roses/Metallica Stadium Tour.
One notable event came at Tushino Airfield in Moscow on September 28, 1991. The concert was described as the first free outdoor Western rock concert in Soviet history, with attendance estimates ranging from 150,000 to 500,000. The tour was later documented in the film A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica.
