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).
