Metallica announced three European tour dates for Spring 2010 with more to come. Here’s the official statement:

“Europe??” you’re thinking, “weren’t you guys just talking about Latin America a minute ago?” Well, yes, but we thought we would mix it up a little here and jump ahead to April to tell you about some shows happening then. In our effort to get the info out to you as soon as the dates are officially confirmed, here are three more for you:

April 13 – Oslo, Norway – Telenor Arena
April 24 – Moscow, Russia – Olimpiski Arena
April 25 – Moscow, Russia – Olimpiski Arena

“So keep watching here . . . we’ll be back several times during the next week with more European and Latin American dates. Were looking forward to visiting our friends all over the world!”
