NEWS: Metallica play O2 shows

metallica.jpgIt's not often a press release makes our heads snap to attention and goosebumps burst forth from our pale pins. This one however, may do just that (if Metallica is your cuppa). If you missed out on Reading and Leeds Festival tickets, maybe an up-close-and-personal brush with the 'Wherever I May Roamers' is more appealing. The band are set to play at the O2 for charity. It seems that God, after all that - is a ROCKER.

Metallica announce O2 shows, announce single and play us a Little Taste of Death.

Metallica have officially announced that they will be playing the 02 World in Berlin and 02 Arena in London on September 12th and 15th 2008 respectively. The shows are only available to the band’s fan club members, and those people who subscribe to http://www.missionmetallica.com. Tickets are £5 and all ticket proceeds will be donated to various charities, which the band will be revealing over the next two weeks.

And, for those of you that simply can’t wait Metallica have put a few small excerpts from their forthcoming album, Death Magnetic, on their sites http://www.metallica.com and http://www.metclub.com

The band will be making the first single “The Day That Never Comes” available online from August 22nd, and as a physical release sometime in September. The video for the track was filmed in the desert outside L.A with director Thomas Vinterberg. UK fans will be able to hear it exclusively as Zane Lowe’s Hottest track on Radio 1 tonight - 21st August, between 7 – 8 p.m. BBC2’s The Culture Show will be airing a 30 minute Metallica special on 31st August at 11.20 pm.

Metallica headline Reading and Leeds festivals this coming weekend (Leeds on Friday 22nd Aug and Reading on Sunday 24th Aug) in addition to the O2 shows in Berlin and London.

As for us, we're sending our littlest Editorial lass to Reading Festival to stand up the front and get the living hell battered out of her during Metallica's set. She'll return with an ant's-eye-view of the messy shebang.
