The good news: Metallica is planning its first tour in four years to support the upcoming "Death Magnetic" album, to be released on Sept. 12, and the tour includes a stop at Nassau Coliseum.
The bad news: The Nassau show is at the tail-end of the tour, which kicks off Oct. 21 in Glendale, Ariz., meaning they won't get to the New York area until Jan. 29.
Ticket info hasn't been finalized yet, but the band says Mission Metallica platinum members will get first crack at the tickets.
