Here is what the 'Tallica dudes had to say, "Since the second part of our little European summer vacation does not include any festival shows, guess what... we get to pick who we, and you, get to spend the day with. So we're psyched to share with you that our old friends in Down and our new friends in The Sword, one of our favorite bands of the last few years, have agreed to come along for the ride.

"Look for 'Tallica, Down, and The Sword starting on July 16 in Bergen, Norway through July 25 in Sofia, Bulgaria (except in Bucharest, where it will be just 'Tallica and The Sword)."

Jul. 16 - Bergen, Norway - Koengen
Jul. 18 - St. Petersburg, Russia - SKK Hall
Jul. 20 - Riga, Latvia - Skonto Stadium
Jul. 22 - Bologna, Italy - Parco Nord
Jul. 23 - Bucharest, Romania - Cotroceni (no DOWN)
Jul. 25 - Sofia, Bulgaria - Vasil Levski Stadium
