Metallica could be coming to New Zealand - in a few years.

In a recent interview with Metallica's Fan Club magazine So What!, drummer Lars Ulrich mentioned there were a bunch of places that hadn't seen the band in years.

"We gotta just sit and look. There's Japan. There's Australia. There's New Zealand. There's a couple other pockets that obviously Metallica has a long and very cool relationship with, so we just gotta sit down and figure it out," the Music feeds website reported.

The band is currently touring as part of their WorldWired tour.

"But to me the most important thing is, and this goes back to what we were talking about [the last time], the maintenance thing. We gotta go to Japan, we gotta go to Australia, we gotta go here, we gotta go there. That's fine. As long as it's done within the boundaries that exist.

"And so you know, I don't think whether it's '19 or '20 or whatever, to me we're in a mode where there's a balance to it now that's manageable."

Metallica last visited New Zealand in 2010, playing two shows each in Christchurch and Auckland.

It's unlikely to be potentially the middle of 2019 or further out when the band comes here, as they're touring in the States until at least March 2019.
