Damage Inc. is a four-piece Metallica tribute hand-selected and endorsed by Metallica themselves to open on their tour — a direct artist-camp endorsement that no other Metallica tribute in the country holds.
Metallica is the best-selling heavy metal band of all time: 125+ million records sold worldwide, nine Grammy Awards, 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, and a catalog (“Enter Sandman,” “Master of Puppets,” “One,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “Fade to Black,” “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” “Sad But True”) that defined thrash metal and modern heavy metal.
Metallica hand-selected Damage Inc. to open on their tour — a direct artist-camp endorsement that no other Metallica tribute in the country holds. This puts Damage Inc. in the elite “directly endorsed by the original artist” tier across the TSE roster.
Damage Inc. delivers the thrash-era catalog (Kill ’Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, …And Justice for All) with the technical authenticity and metal-band intensity Metallica themselves are known for. The setlist also covers the Black Album era (“Enter Sandman,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “Sad But True”) and selected later material.
Metallica is still actively touring (M72 World Tour 2023-2025 was a massive success), but at major-headliner cost. Damage Inc. fits the same fair, festival, casino, and PAC venues at a fraction of the cost, with the unique credibility of a direct Metallica endorsement built into the booking.
Documented credentials:
Metallica hand-selected Damage Inc. to open on tour — a direct artist-camp endorsement that puts the act in the elite top tier of the TSE roster alongside The Ultimate McGraw (Tim McGraw endorsed), American Ride (Toby Keith management endorsed), Always Tina (King of Norway), Material Girl (Madonna endorsed), Jass Meagher (Mariah press), Scott Keo (David Foster + Steve Wynn), SEDATED (Ramone family), Always Olivia (ONJ family), and Even It Up (Roger Fisher of Heart).
