METALLICA, GUNS N' ROSES, AC/DC On 'Hot Tours' Chart

June 10, 2010

According to Billboard.com, METALLICA ranks No. 2 this week on the Hot Tours chart based on box office totals from tours in Latin American countries during the first half of the year from promoters T4F and Evenpro/Water Brother. Evenpro/Water Brother handled the band's concerts in Peru (Jan. 19),Costa Rica (March 7),Panama (March 8),Colombia (March 10) and Venezuela (March 12). T4F's date was in Santiago, Chile (Jan. 26). The South and Central American shows were part of METALLICA's World Magnetic Tour that began in October 2008 and is scheduled to continue through November. Box office stats from T4F and Evenpro/Water Brother also helped GUNS N' ROSES and AC/DC land a ranking on this week's Hot Tours list, at Nos. 6 and 7, respectively.

METALLICA begins its next round of European tour dates on June 14 in Spain.

One of the shows on the trek, a June 22 "Big Four" gig in Bulgaria with SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX, will be beamed to movie theaters around the world.

The group played in Tel Aviv, Israel last Saturday (May 22) for the first time in a decade.
