Metallica Announce 30th Anniversary Shows

It's crazy to think Metallica has been going at it for 30 years, but we think it's cause for a major celebration! That's why the thrash overlords just announce that on the week of December 5, 2011, there will be a full-on Metallica week in the Bay Area of San Francisco. The legends will be playing four shows for Met Club [their official fan club] members only at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco on December 5, 7, 9, and 10 to celebrate their 30th anniversary. These unique shows will include special guests and events, rare songs, varied set lists, odds and ends, and all the nutty stuff you expect from Metallica... fun for the entire family!

Metallica is offering their fans a chance to participate in the entire week of festivities with special four pack tickets [one ticket for each of the four shows] and automatic entry into contests for various other special events, available for the clever price of $19.81 [get it?]. There will also be individual show tickets available for $6.00 each. Both four packs and individual show tickets will be available for Met Club members only through a reservation system.
