South American AND Central American Dates

2009-11-16

We've been having such an amazing time on the road that there is no way we're stopping now! So in the first of what will be quite a few announcements of 2010 dates, we are super psyched to confirm that we will indeed be visiting South and Central America in the first part of the year. It is extra special because we're actually going to places that Metallica has NEVER played before, including our first show in the new year in Lima, Peru on January 19, 2010 at Estadio San Marcos. In March, we will again be in cities we have never played before . . . San Jose, Costa Rica and Panama City, Panama to be specific. And as we've only had the chance to visit Caracas and Bogota once before in 1999, this leg of the World Magnetic tour is sure to be a memorable one.

2009-09-03

The men from Metallica continue to plow through the country on a seemingly never-ending tour for their most recent album Death Magnetic, and this morning they find themselves the subject of two very different but equally compelling news stories. The first comes from an interview with Slayer's Kerry King in U.K. rock magazine Metal Hammer. King told the magazine the he has heard from several sources that Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich was thinking about planning a tour that would feature Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax (referred to in metal circles as the "Big Four" of thrash). "I don't know Lars that well and I haven't heard it from Lars, but apparently he's talking to somebody about it," King said. Such a tour would not only be really loud but would also represent a homecoming for Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine, who was Metallica's original guitarist.
