James Hetfield and Metallica have started to add UK dates to their extensive European tour.

Belfast's Odyssey Arena has almost sold out for the first night's gloriously loud Metallica entertainment on May 11th 2010 and now a second date has just been added for May 12th.

Tickets are on sale now and cost £49 plus fees.

It is some time that Metallica last played to a Belfast audience so these tickets will not hang around. Get clicking!

The band has recently released a DVD box set called 'Francais Pour Une Nuit' which features an explosive night in the Roman Coliseum in Nimes, France from last summer. Aside from the standard DVD release, there is a limited 'arena' box set that contains 150 minutes of their greatest hits given a right old pummelling, interviews, an exclusive Metallica shirt, five deluxe prints, lanyard, show pass, booklet and a copy of their last (and bang on form) album, 'Death Magnetic'.
