LiveDaily and the band themselves broke the news this afternoon on one of rock's most highly anticipated reunions EVER. Okay but seriously, the guys are getting back together and will be playing songs like "With Arms Wide Open", "Higher" and "My Sacrifice" at an arena or amphitheater near you this summer/fall. The band themselves, nor any media outlets, have revealed venue information but of course, I have it (for better...or worse).
There will be no new release, compilation or other wise, to promote the tour. Tickets for most shows go onsale May 9 with onsales planned through the first weekend of June. Tickets for the tour are being priced at $40-$90 in most cities. Enjoy, kids:

METALLICA, JOURNEY Tour News
Not a huge bulletin but a couple of interesting note nonetheless:
-- METALLICA have been working closely with Nocturne Productions (the concert production company owned by JOURNEY guitarist Neal Schon and ex-manager Herbie Herbert) on developing a concert first. The band will go down as the first rock group to incorporate High Definition technology into their show. The production is being touted as the most elaborate and
advanced in the band's career. It will include the usual pyro and lighting, but the centerpiece of the stage will be two massive HD screens on either side of the stage. The tour will begin in arenas before making its way into stadiums in the U.S. next year. Look for a press release regarding the tour within the next four weeks.
-- JOURNEY continue to post impressive numbers on their current tour with HEART and CHEAP TRICK. In the state of Texas alone the tour moved nearly 50,000 tickets in three cities (San Antonio, Houston and Dallas).

Big BILLY IDOL Update
Got an e-mail not too long ago asking for a quick update on Billy Idol, so here goes:
For the first time in a while there is a lot of activity and positive news in the Idol camp.
His last album, Devils Playground, was among his best work and yet thanks to Sanctuary Records
went nowhere. Steve Stevens stated in a few interviews that near the end of the tour morale was low and he wasn't sure when or if Billy would record a "next" record.
Well there definitely will be a next record. I'm very happy to report that Billy has been resigned by
EMI and has been working hard on a new album, produced by Josh Abraham. Part of EMI's plan
to relaunch Idol on the charts was the release of the Idolize Yourself compilation, and to include
two songs from Idol's forthcoming studio effort ("John Wayne" and "New Future Weapon") on the set.
The material, being composed by Billy, Steve and Brian Tichy, is said to be a throwback to the classic Idol sound, with the debut LP, Rebel Yell and Whiplash Smile being used as a point of reference.
An early 2009 release is being reported by EMI, with a world tour set to launch in the U.S. in the Spring.
