METALLICA's New Zealand Shows To Go Ahead

September 6, 2010

According to Billboard.biz, METALLICA's two sold-out shows this month in Christchurch, New Zealand will proceed as scheduled despite the earthquakes which hit the city over the weekend.

METALLICA is slated to play the 9,000-capacity CBS Canterbury Arena (formerly known as Westpac Arena) in Christchurch on September 21 and September 22 with support from FEAR FACTORY and THE SWORD.

Bryan Pearson, CEO of locally-based management company Vbase, said in a memo to clients that it does not appear that either its 50,000-capacity AMI Stadium or CBS Canterbury Arena have sustained structural damage, confirmation on which will be announced when engineers have completed their assessment this Wednesday (Sept. 8).
