METALLICA To Play Helsinki Next June - Oct. 11, 2008

According to MTV3.fi, METALLICA will play two shows in Helsinki, Finland on June 14 and June 15, 2009. No further details are currently available.

METALLICA's last show at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, Finland — on July 15, 2007 — was attended by more than 50,000 people, which is nearly 1 percent of the country's 5.5-million population.

According to Billboard.biz, METALLICA's "Death Magnetic" (Vertigo/Universal) has secured a fourth week atop European Top 100 Albums. The album now has two more weeks to go to match the initial success of its 2003 predecessor "St. Anger", which topped the pan-European chart for six weeks. The new set is still No. 1 in Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Greece and holds at No. 2 in Portugal, Italy, Holland and Hungary, but slips 1-2 in Poland and Austria.

METALLICA's Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammett will guest on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn on Monday, October 20 at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to speak with the group by calling 1-800-344-ROCK (7625). (Note: Contrary to a previous announcement, the band will **NOT** be performing on the program.)

On October 16, METALLICA will take the stage when the annual "Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica 2008" take over Guadalajara, Mexico. The awards, which will be held inside the Auditorio Telmex, will air live at 9 p.m. ET, only on MTV Tr3´s. According to MTV News, METALLICA will be performing the first single from "Death Magnetic", "The Day That Never Comes". Others set to appear at this year's "Premios" include TOKIO HOTEL, PARAMORE, KISS' Gene Simmons, THE KOOKS, BELANOVA, JULIETA VENEGAS, and BABASÓNICOS.
