UPDATE: THE RUMOURS ARE FUCKING TRUE!!!! TOUR ANNOUNCED HERE

Pop Ups. You either love them or hate them, but in this situation, we are fucking LOSING OUR SHIT over what could possibly be the tour of the year. A pop-up ad that our resident metalhead Jim 'Plugga' Birkin came across indicates that Metallica will be touring Australia in October alongside Slipknot. Yes, you read that right...

Could it be true? Who knows but take this with a grain of salt until officially confirmed.

Metallica have no tours booked in on their website after August 25th and Slipknot have nothing booked in after September 8th so already, dates are looking free!

The crew over at Triple M and The Rock in NZ are teasing one of the biggest tours ever being announced tomorrow, this could be what they're talking about too... We'll update you as soon as we hear more!
