METALLICA: Second Mexico City Show Annnounced

March 30, 2009

Nine days after announcing its first show in Mexico City in 10 years, scheduled for June 6 at Foro Sol, METALLICA has confirmed a second concert at the same venue, to be held the following night (June 7). Tickets are currently available for Banamex cardholders with the regular ticket sale starting on April 1 at 11:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.com.mx.

METALLICA has announced a new release date for its digital "box set" called "The Complete Metallica" that will feature the band's entire 163-track recorded catalog. According to the group's official web site, the package will now be available exclusively through iTunes beginning on April 14, before surfacing at all other digital outlets on April 28.

"The Complete Metallica" will be released during a high-profile period for the Los Angeles-based hard-rock heroes. On March 29, Activision will release the highly anticipated video game Guitar Hero: Metallica, featuring 28 songs from the band's nearly 30-year career. In addition, METALLICA will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, which honors legendary rock and roll performers, in a ceremony to take place in Cleveland on April 4.

METALLICA recently completed its first proper tour of the United States and Canada in four years in support of the platinum-selling "Death Magnetic", which debuted at No. 1 in September 2008 and won two Grammy Awards for "Best Metal Performance" (for the track "My Apocalypse") and "Best Recording Package." They are currently on an extensive European tour.
