Metallica will usher in the arrival of their Death Magnetic with a pair of massive discounted European shows. On September 12th, the day the album is released globally, the band will become the first artists to perform in Berlin, Germany’s brand-new O2 Arena. Tickets for that show are being priced at 10 euros, or $14. Then three days later on September 15th, Metallica will play another O2 Arena, this time in London. Those tickets are only five euros. If the allure of seeing Metallica live for less than the price of an actual CD isn’t enough, all proceeds from the two concerts will benefit local charities. Ticket information will be announced soon at Metallica’s website, but Mission:Metallica and fan club members will get first shot at tix. The band also posted another ten-second Death snippet on their site, but more importantly, they’ll be debuting their first single “The Day That Never Comes” at around 2pm EST/11am west coast time today.
