METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX - The Big 4 To Play Yankee Stadium! By Tokemaster General, Contributor Monday, May 2, 2011 @ 6:51 PM
The biggest metal event of the year keeps growing! Following the April 23rd
concert at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA in front of over 50,000 raging
metalheads (some say it was closer to 70,000!), the Big 4 of '80s thrash
metal - METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX - are ready to assault the
US east coast with an exclusive show at New York's Yankee Stadium on
September 14th!
Metallica's announcement reads as follows: "A huge thanks to everyone who
came out to the desert; we felt the enormous love and support, so we just
had to find a way to make one more Big 4 show in the States happen. Enter
New York. We can't wait for a night in the Bronx as our second American show
and for those of you who love fun facts, this will also be the second live
music event hosted at the new ballpark. ALL seats are reserved for this show
and tickets go on sale Friday, May 6 at 10:00 AM via Ticketmaster.com. Met
Club members should log in for more information about a special pre-sale
starting on Wednesday, May 4. Yankees season ticket holders will have their
own pre-sale, also on May 4, starting at noon."
Check out a Big 4 does Yankee Stadium promo spot featuring Metallica's James Hetfield here. The Big Four: Live From Sofia, Bulgaria DVD and Blu-ray - which contained footage of the first-ever Big 4 show ever from June 22nd, 2010 - was RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) certified Double Platinum in the US earlier this year for sales in excess of 200,000 copies.
The band's were presented with plaques for the certification on April 23rd around the Big Four show at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Anthrax' Scott Ian has posted a video shot at the presentation. Check it out below:
