Metallica will be embarking on a stadium tour with Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat, and Gojira from May until August, and they've added an unlikely name to tour – Beastie Boys' DJ Mix Master Mike. Mike was in Beastie Boys from 1998 to 2012, and according to a statement from Metallica, he'll be spinning "some of your favorite (and ours!) hard rock and metal tracks throughout the evening at all of the stadium dates this summer."
So basically, it sounds like Mike is just going to do stuff between sets, and not have his own set. If this tour is anything, it's definitely diverse. Mix Master Mike will be on all of the following dates.
