After virtually no shows went on sale last week, we’ve got a glut of metal acts with presales this week, led by none other than Metallica.
The group intends to release its latest, “Death Magnetic”, on Sept. 12. The album is being billed as a return to 1980s-styled shredding, not the mainstream modern rock that characterized its past couple efforts.
Fans can get tickets to that show RIGHT NOW through a presale, or take advantage of presales to Scars on Broadway, Down and Dragonforce — a British metal act — by following the links below. Keep in mind, no prices include service fees, etc.
