According to BW&BK; sources, the OZZFest/METALLICA rumour is getting bigger. The Bay Area thrashers are "supposed to" announce their North American tour plans when they return from South Africa after their March 25th show at Green Point Stadium in Cape Town. Metallica's schedule has them booked for June and two dates in August - one of which (August 13th at Summer Sonic Festival in Osaka, Japan) coincides with an OZZFest date. However, this leaves Metallica's schedule open between July 1st and August 9th. Confirmed OZZfest 2006 dates currently include:
