According to The Baltic Course, 12,000 fans turned out for METALLICA's concert in Riga LETA was informed by a spokesman for the concert agency FBI.

The group was visiting Latvia as part of its "World Magnetic Tour 2010", and arrived from Copenhagen by coach and ferry, a 28-hour journey.

According to RIA Novosti, METALLICA will play its two concerts in Moscow this weekend despite the ongoing chaos with air travel across Europe, the concert organizers said.

The eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland, which began on April 14, has paralyzed air traffic throughout central and northern Europe, stranding thousands of travelers and forcing more than 20 European countries to close their airspace.

However, METALLICA was already in Oslo on its World Magnetic Tour when the eruption began.

"Thank God, they managed to fly from America to our continent, and now they are moving either by car or by train, so that they get to Moscow," SAV Entertainment and Russian Show-Centre head Vladimir Zubitskiy said.
