Metallica Announce The Final Big Four Show with Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax

03/11/2010
. It started last year as a rumor that sparked the imaginations of metal fans around the world. The big four of thrash: Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax sharing the same stage. After the rumor surfaced members from each band started commenting on how they would like to see it happen. But then the bad news came from Metallica that there were no real talks about putting such a tour together.

While no tour has of yet surfaced, the organizers of the traveling European metal festival Sonisphere ran with the idea and started to put together several dates that featured the Big Four at various stops. On Thursday, Metallica announced the final date that the Big Four will appear together this summer. But who knows, if all goes well maybe this will inspire all four bands to put this dream ticket together for a full blown tour? For now, here is Metallica's announcement:

We promised you one more Sonisphere date, so here you have it! The Sonisphere Festival will be hitting Bucharest, Romania on June 26, 2010 at Romexpo. "The Big Four" (that's ?Tallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax) will be there, along with our friends Heaven & Hell.
