Legendary rockers Metallica are expected...
"This band enjoys unprecedented success in Russia. All tickets are sold out for the first concert and some are left for the second one but we believe that after the first successful concert all tickets will be sold out for the other," a spokeswoman for SAV Entertainment and Russian Show-Centre said.
Metallica is currently on the World Magnetic Tour dedicated to their Death Magnetic album, which was released in late 2008. It was the first studio album for the band over the last five years.
Their concerts were under threat of being cancelled due to the air traffic chaos in Europe caused by the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. However, Metallica were already in Oslo on their World Magnetic Tour when the eruption began.
They travelled in Europe either by car or train giving concerts Vilnius on Tuesday and Wednesday and now in Moscow"s Olimpiisky Sports Complex on Saturday and Sunday, April 24 and 25.
