Metallica - more US tour dates

Dates continue to surface for Metallica's current tour behind last year's "St. Anger," which now stretches into late November.

Last month, the Bay Area-based group received three nominations for this year's California Music Awards: Outstanding Hard Rock Album "St. Anger", Outstanding Guitarist (Kirk Hammett) and Outstanding Drummer (Lars Ulrich). The awards ceremony takes place on June 6 in Oakland; the band will be touring Europe at that time.

"St. Anger," Metallica's first collection of all-new material since 1997, surfaced last June. The title track won this year's Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
