Mega Metal Tour Planned for 2010

The heavy hitters, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth, will be taking Europe by storm next summer as part of the Sonisphere festival, which will hit several European cities. 

The shows will begin on June 16 in Warsaw, Poland.  From there, the bands will travel to other festival sites in cities such as Prague, Zurich, Sofia, Athens, Bucharest, Istanbul, Barcelona, Knebworth and Stockholm.

For now, no American tour dates have been announced for the four bands.

This will be the first time for the heavy metal groups to tour together.  According to Metallica’s Lars Ullrich, fans can expect an explosion.  He said, "Who would have thought that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal’s big 4 would not only still be around and more popular than ever, but will now play together for the first time…what a mindf**k!"
