Metallica Returns to New Zealand....Photos Posted!

[Sonic 292]

After almost 6 years the worlds most powerful rock band is finally making its way to New Zealand shores. Metallica will be performing 1 show at Auckland's Vector Arena on October 13th as part of their very long World Magnetic Tour that began back in September 2008. I'm so pumped for this because despite being a Metallica fan for many years now I've yet to see them live. This will probably my last chance to see them.

 

FINALLY . . . Australia and New Zealand!!

We'll be there . . . this Fall!

 

We know, we know . . . it has been WAY too long since we visited this part of the world, but we're here to tell you that it is game on!!!! We can't wait to head over to New Zealand and many parts of Australia bringing the World Magnetic Tour to places it has not rocked yet. Starting October 13, 2010 in Auckland, NZ, we'll also be in Brisbane, Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, and Melbourne . . . dates and venues are below.

 

Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 13 at 9:00 AM in the local time zone. As usual, Met Club members should check www.metclub.com for all the pre-sale details.

Time to round up some mates (plus I think my sister wants to go) and arrange the tickets, they will sell out fast!

 

Fans here in NZ are already guessing that a second NZ show maybe added, look at the dates between the first show in Auckand and the next show in Brisbane.

Why does everything have to be in Jaffaville?

 

I'm guessing tickets won't be cheap either.

[Sonic 292]

Is Metallica not worth a trip to Auckland Luk3us? At least I don't have that far to travel.

 

I'm guessing tickets won't be cheap either.

Yeah no pricing details yet. Cheapest could be around $150 range. But that's just guessing.

[Doctor Destiny 40]

Damn. Would be nice to have them roll through again. I wanted Iron Maiden to come through Kansas City, but no such luck...

[CraftManiac 1]

Yeah no pricing details yet. Cheapest could be around $150 range. But that's just guessing.

 

I think $150 may be for the FanPit zone. Dunno exatcly...

It's 500 kn's in Croatia... (wich is about $150 converted)

Just got the email and I came here to post it. I should have known you'd already be all over it, Sonic. Too bad it's not one of the 'big four' shows they're doing, but I'm sure it will still be awesome. Wish I could go with you. XD

[Sonic 292]

If all goes to plan I should be able to secure my tickets on the 11th of May rather than the 13th. All I need now is some prices.

Bumping this thread, why start another one. Anyway I now have my Metallica tickets in hand. Key info blacked out though.

 

 

So exited for the 13th of October. Only 4 weeks away!!

You've been waiting all that long, when you started this thread I thought It's on May, June or something but I didn't notice that line!

Take some cool videos and photos

[Sonic 292]

Home from the Metallica concert now, well got back around 2.30AM this morning but I hit the sack to get some much needed sleep. Took around 70 photos, some good, some crappy ones. My camera only has 3x optical zoom. Best of them are below.

 

Totally mind blowing show. Metallica know how to put on great show, their performance is so powerful. I've heard Sandman so many times over the years, but man it was so awesome live and with everyone singing it. I stood for the entire show, singing along for every song except Breadfan... I forgot most of the words to that one Surprised they played No Leaf Clover, it doesn't get performed live to often from what I was told.

 

James' voice was bang on as well

Damn good photos, really cool. I'm sure that now you'd be ready to die if you had to face the Angel, eh?

 

I really like how the stadium looks and how the stage in the middle looks as if it's being selected by all those things that are hanging from the top.

[Sonic 292]

Hard to believe is been nearly 4 months since that awesome night.

 

The stage set up was great. Not a bad seat in the house with a stage like that. That stage was used all around the world for the World Magnetic Tour. But there were a few shows along the way where the stage would not fit in the arena. Such as the Christchurch shows in September.

 

I just hope its a not a 6 year wait for Metallica to come back to New Zealand.
