Metallica to return to South Africa in 2013


Metallica have announced their return to South Africa for a series of concerts in 2013.

“It's been seven fun-filled crazy years since we were lucky enough to travel to South Africa for what was our first ever visit there,” said the band. “Needless to say, it's been way too long since then and we are more than thrilled to be heading back for two shows in April of 2013. Look for us in Cape Town at the Cape Town Stadium on April 24 and in Johannesburg on April 27 at FNB Stadium (aka Soccer City).”

Tickets go on sale for the Johannesburg show on Wednesday, November 21 at 9:00 am local time and for the Cape Town show on Thursday, November 22, also at 9:00 am local time.

Both shows will be on sale at web, outlets and call centers. Tickets will be available online from www.bigconcerts.co.za, or Computicket.

The South African concerts follow Metallica’s headlining appearance at Australia’s Soundwave Festival, a series which runs from late February into the first week of March.
