METALLICA: Estonian Date Announced

March 14, 2006

METALLICA have added an Estonian date to their upcoming "Escape from the Studio '06" tour. The group's schedule is now shaping up as follows:

Jun. 03 - Nurburgring, GER - Rock Am Ring Festival
Jun. 04 - Nurnberg, GER - Rock Im Park Festival
Jun. 06 - Berlin, GER - Waldebuhne
Jun. 08 - Arnhem, NETH - Gelredome
Jun. 10 - Donington UK - Download Festival
Jun. 11 - Dublin IRE - Download Festival
Jun. 13 - Tallinn, EST - Song Festival Grounds
Jun. 15 - Pannonia Fields, AUT – Nova Rock
Jun. 17 - Imola, ITA - Heineken Jammin Festival
Aug. 12 - Tokyo, JPN - Summer Sonic Festival
Aug. 13 - Osaka, JPN - Summer Sonic Festival

METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich recently told Rolling Stone magazine that the band will spend about six months writing music for their ninth studio disc before commencing the recording process. Sources close to METALLICA recently informed Launch that the band will not play any U.S. shows this summer, despite speculation that the group would either headline Ozzfest or mount their own stadium tour. While METALLICA are playing three concerts in South Africa later this month and have a string of European festival appearances lined up for June, their schedule has been empty for the rest of the summer, leading to rumors of some sort of U.S. jaunt. However, the sources say that the band will enter the studio in July with producer Rick Rubin to begin recording their ninth studio album.

METALLICA will make its South African debut on March 18, March 21 and March 25 as part of a massive music festival called the Coca-Cola Colab Mix.

METALLICA announced last month that it will record its new album with Rubin, who has worked with SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLIPKNOT, the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, AUDIOSLAVE and others.
