Eleven selected May 1989 dates from Auckland through three Australian shows and six Japanese dates to Honolulu. Dates and cities agree between Metallica’s official archive and CHMetal. Venue names follow the artist; Kawasaki’s former Sangyo name is reconciled with municipal history. Anchorage and later North American dates are outside this selection.
THE ARTIST, ON THE ROAD
The story behind this itinerary
The May chapter starts in Auckland, crosses three Australian cities, visits four Japanese cities and ends in Honolulu.
All eleven selected dates and cities agree between the artist archive and the detailed CHMetal chronology. Each show now links to its own artist record. The three original Australian dates also agree with the Australian Concert Tour Database.
The Kawasaki venue appears under an older name in the specialist chronology. Municipal history establishes the shared venue identity. No box-office receipts are inferred for any of these shows.
