METALLICA have issued the following tour update:

“We're back for our final tour announcement of 2011 with another addition to the summer run, this time in Lisbon, Portugal on May 25, 2012 for the European edition of Rock in Rio. This will be the third time we have been a part of the summer Portuguese version of the famous festival, and you guessed it, we'll be playing The Black Album in its entirety as part of our 20th anniversary celebration of its release. If you've been watching the site lately, you can see that we're kind of into this anniversary thing lately...

Tickets go on sale on December 21st at midnight local time at TicketLine.pt.

We're going to take a short break, but we'll be back early in 2012 with a few more stops on the European summer vacation to tell you about. Happy holidays!”
