'Ticket's There' – Irish and International Music Blog

Yes, it’s true, the big four are playing together….twice!

For months, rumors have been flooding the internet that the original icons of thrash metal would unite together for a tour and last night, Metallica confirmed those rumors.

“You’ve been posting and chatting about it for months and we’re here now to confirm it . . . METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH, and ANTHRAX will all share the same stage for the first time EVER! Look for the four of us at the Sonisphere shows in Warsaw, Poland and Prague, Czech Republic on June 16 and 19, 2010, with a few more of the festival dates still in the works. You can be sure these shows won’t be the only ones.”

These shows could be the first step in bringing the four together for a major worldwide tour later in 2010. Currently there are no further details but as always, Tickets There will let you know when we do.

Also, more guests still be announced for both Sonisphere shows….but could you care less? Very few bands they could add to make that bill any better. Lucky bastards over there 😦
