metallica290Thinking it’s a London show? Think again!

Metallica have announced that they are to play Belfast’s Odyssey Arena on May 11th, 2010. Tickets go on sale on December 3rd.

Could this be the start of a run of UK shows? Metallica’s latest newsletter certainly seems to suggest so! A quote at the bottom of the newsletter says: “Only one show announced in May so far…you know what that means. Please check back here for more updates!”

Tickets for Metallica’s Belfast show go on sale on December 3rd.

i get the feeling they may do download again,either that or wembley or maybe milton keynes

Gonna TRY and get to that show….hop on the ferry over to belfast hehehe XD

METALLICA FUCKING RULES!!!!!

Here’s hoping that they only play stuff form the 80’s
‘Cos face it, pretty much everything after suucked :P

Yeah Metallica should definatly come to Brighton!
i’m sick of paying about £15 for the train each time a gig is in London! Which is every one.

Can you imagine Metallica playing at The Concorde?!

Ian McWilliams

Please let them do another Dublin date.

i heard a rumour a while ago that metallica are contracted to sonisphere for 3 years but i don’t know how likely that is. great band but wouldnt want to see them at the same festival every year. might also just be some of the european versions of it. personally i think they’ll be at download, they’re in europe around that time so it makes sense

@Destroying Dignity
That was the rumour at first, but it’s looking likely that Maiden will be this year’s Metallica.

OH FUCK YES!!!! manchester date pleeeeeeeeeeaseeee

@Ian, do what we’re doing and hop on a train to Belfast. It won’t be that expensive! It’s in the round too so there’s an extra incentive for you to go!

@jinge, you must be one of them people who are stuck with thinking tallica can play stuff from the 80’s, well tbh load,reload and death magnetic are awesome and some incredibly underrated albums, so either you must be very hard to please, or your stuck to one genre with no variety /rant

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS OH FUCKING YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! LONG LIVE METALLICA! A DATE IN NORTHERN IRELAND, BRILLIANT. MACHINE HEAD & METALLICA IN MAY 2010 IN BELFAST. AWESOME!

@ Dave.
No, on the other had, I enjoyed Death Magnetic et al, but maybe it’s time they did what Maiden did the last year or so and give the kids the chance to hear the stuff from the ’80’s.

METALLICA FOR HAMPDEN

yeh, metallica are just gunna do 80s tunes out of 30 years material…i heard theyre playin pontefract

Rock Fan

“Dear Mother, Dear Father! Can Meta-llica come to Glas-gow?”
I wanna get me a case of WHIPLASH!!!!

theoutlawtorn

Sadly Ross I don’t think that they’ll play Glasgow for at least another 4 years, based on last time.

I’ll try for Belfast tickets through the Metclub pre-sale tomorrow!! Good luck everyone!!

metallica for folkstone… well megadeth did it
i know its diffrent

Alex megraw

Come to plymouth and play at Home park or The pervilions we would love to see you here i know over2 thousand people in plymouth who would love to see you come here please

@ rock fan
stadium of light would be fucking awesome, hard to admit considering im from Newcastle!!

=D

I only live 2 hours away from Belfast! =D
Can’t wait to go!

Darren Jones

Screw metallica , they were shit on the death fagnetic tour this year , pompous old men churning out utter shit

Fuck em – I’m done with that lot ( and thats after seeing them live 42 times since the 86 Puppets tour )

Destroying Dignity

i’d prefer metallica at download cos sonisphere is too close to bloodstock for me, i’m getting too old for this regular camping malarkey! trouble is u can bloody guarantee maiden will be at one festival and metallica at another, its a hard life!!!

norm 666

come to cardiff being you havent been since 1996!

gota come to cardiff. gota they just gota do cardiff.

Anyone in the fan club got the code to get Belfast tickets early wanna share it?

Yeeessss, me mate got tickets through the pre-sale! We’re going up north to see the Tallica boys!!! \m/

fuck yeah germany yeah

They gotta play Dublin again =D

Russell

About time. Everyone else stay in your own cities/countries and wait for them to come to you. Metallica haven’t played Belfast in more years than I care to remember. It seems the current trend to play Glasgow, Manchester and London and call it a UK tour. Or even just play Dublin and expect everyone from Northern Ireland to be satisfied with that too. We Northern Irish and voiced are disconcern about this and finally someone is paying attention. More bands to do the same please.

Wooot, hope this does become a proper UK tour!

Moshkinstein

20 years!! 20 fookin’ years we have waited for this! Sick & tired of trekking down to Dublin, paying £5 for a pint of watered down excuse for beer , paying over the odds for merchandise & parking, standing in a field & watching the video screens then the joy of a 2.5 hour journey home.
Yeehaah! Metallica are coming to Norn Irn!!!!!!! Got my ticket for the 1st show this morning & I can’t wait! Slayer, Testament, Maiden – take note! The Odyssey is a better venue than the O2, so come up North, and make us Northern Ireland metal fans happy.

Darren Jones, lets see you make an album like Kill Em, All or Master of Puppets. Thats what I thought bitch

Wil Roberts

saw them in dublin and got tickets to both shows in belfast its going to be amazing long live metallica the greastest band ever EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I love travelling to Dublin & Belfast, a Scottish visit to either Aberdeen, Inverness or Edinburgh would be excellent next year and sold out as usual within 5 seconds ! Just come back to Scotland please M !!
Metallica are the Masters and we will be the Puppets !!!!! They may lead and we will follow….wherever.

Mark Prithcard

Please come to Manchester !!!!!!!!!!!!

ciaran maguire
