'Big Four' U.S. show announced

The so-called "Big Four," comprised of metal legends Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax will once again join forces (the groups toured Europe last year), this time in the United States. The show will take place on Saturday, April 23rd at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA. The Metallica camp had the following to say: "You've probably heard us all say it . . . the vibe was just so incredible at last year's Big 4 shows that we can't stop now!! So we're finally bringing the love to our home turf on April 23, 2011 with 'Tallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax in Indio, CA at the Empire Polo Club (yes, the more observant of you will note that this is the same spot where the Coachella Festival takes place the weekend before)." Tickets for the event go on sale January 28th.

enough money from ticket sales will be generated to support a small country for a year.

They advertised it on facebook as it would be a tour, and then they say it'll be one show in CA!? Anyone East of Reno is not stoked.

If I'm lost on 4-23 you can cross this off your list of places to look for me.

I think syracuse has a good chance of making the final four.

The Metallica camp had the following to say: "So you're saying I can take a Limo ride 2 hours south east of LA, play one show, and still make an entire national tour's worth of money from the ticket sales alone.... We can't stop now!"

acai 1/26/2011 12:13:28 AM

what a joke

casketofaids 1/26/2011 12:32:47 AM

No care...

ohhdearr 1/26/2011 2:25:35 AM

None of these bands are worth the high ticket price. Maybe Slayer. Metallica sucks monster sized dcks. Anthrax sucks even bigger ones. Megadeth put out only a couple decent albums in a long career.

RickRock 1/26/2011 11:03:19 AM

The mean IQ at this show will be in the double digits. Fact.

kumanikuwareru 1/26/2011 11:17:14 AM

Big Four: Entombed, Grave, Unleashed, Dismember

DOOMTOOTH 1/28/2011 10:57:14 AM
