Metallica are gearing up for some serious touring this year, including headlining their own Orion Music + More 2012 festival in Atlantic City, N.J. Now, the heavy metal legends have announced two shows taking place in Mexico along with a immense new stage setup.

Metallica are set to play the Sports Palace in Mexico City on Aug. 1 and 2. The band first went to Mexico in 1993 toward the end of the ‘Black’ album’s touring cycle and played five sold out shows at the Sports Palace.

Drummer Lars Ulrich excitedly states, “Given our history with our rabid Mexican fans over the past decades, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate place to unveil our new, sick as f—, over the top, out of control stage that will be the cornerstone of our touring escapades for the next years to come.”

He adds, “Don’t be scared boys and girls, this is going next level.” With an 140×50-foot stage, what’s there to fear? The mammoth stage will feature some heavy machinery and prominent visual effects that will highlight aspects of Metallica’s entire 30-year career.
