Metallica have announced that they have recruited DJ and producer Mix Master Mike to be part of the upcoming North American leg of their WorldWired tour.

The band says in the announcement, "Mike will be spinning some of your favorite (and ours!) hard rock and metal tracks throughout the evening at all of the stadium dates this summer. A pioneer in the hip-hop and DJ communities, you'll be able to catch his skillful, hard-hitting scratch work once the doors open each night and between acts before we hit the stage.

"Named as the 'world's greatest DJ' by USA Today, Mix Master Mike has won Grammys, been inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Beastie Boys, spun at the Vancouver Winter Olympics and the Emmy's, and has created music that has been featured on major television networks."

The tour is scheduled to kick off on May 10th in Baltimore at the M&T Bank Stadium and will conclude on August 16th in Edmonton at the Commonwealth Stadium.
