METALLICA: Nordic Dates Announced

October 15, 2008

METALLICA has announced the following tour dates in the Nordic region of Europe:

Mar. 07 - Stockholm, Sweden @ Globen
Mar. 08 - Stockholm, Sweden @ Globen
Jun. 14 - Helsinki, Finland @ Hartwell Arena
Jun. 15 - Helsinki, Finland @ Hartwell Arena
Jun. 17 - Oslo, Norway @ Spektrum
Jul. 20 - Copenhagen, Denmark @ Copenhagen Forum
Jul. 22 - Copenhagen, Denmark @ Copenhagen Forum
Jul. 23 - Copenhagen, Denmark @ Copenhagen Forum

According to the band, "these shows are 'in the round,' so that means general admission standing on the floor, reserved seating off the floor. There are some exceptions . . . shows in Copenhagen will be all general admission."

Billboard.biz reported last week that METALLICA's "Death Magnetic" (Vertigo/Universal) secured a fourth week atop European Top 100 Albums. The album now has two more weeks to go to match the initial success of its 2003 predecessor "St. Anger", which topped the pan-European chart for six weeks. The new set is still No. 1 in Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Greece and holds at No. 2 in Portugal, Italy, Holland and Hungary, but slips 1-2 in Poland and Austria.

METALLICA's Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammett will guest on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn on Monday, October 20 at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to speak with the group by calling 1-800-344-ROCK (7625). (Note: Contrary to a previous announcement, the band will **NOT** be performing on the program.)

On October 16, METALLICA will take the stage when the annual "Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica 2008" take over Guadalajara, Mexico. The awards, which will be held inside the Auditorio Telmex, will air live at 9 p.m. ET, only on MTV Tr3´s. According to MTV News, METALLICA will be performing the first single from "Death Magnetic", "The Day That Never Comes". Others set to appear at this year's "Premios" include TOKIO HOTEL, PARAMORE, KISS' Gene Simmons, THE KOOKS, BELANOVA, JULIETA VENEGAS, and BABASÓNICOS.
