This is the newly rebuilt Wembley Stadium we're talking about, freshly delivered in time for us to test it's barely dry foundations with a little live 'Tallica...remember, we've only played the stadium once before, at the Freddie Mercury (QUEEN) benefit gig back in Spring of '92, so to play it now as headliners, especially the brand spankin' new one, is very, very cool... we'll also be bringing a few of our friends along to add to the festivities ...and between you and us, there's still another fun time or two on our European escape to announce...and as ever, when they get OFFICIALLY confirmed, you'll see them posted here...until then..."Currently confirmed Sick Of The Studio '07 dates now include:
