METALLICA's website has been updated with the following message:
"We're really excited for today's installment of "where are they going now" as we tell you about four shows coming up in cities we have never played in!!
The March leg of the World Magnetic tour kicks off on March 1st in Guadalajara, Mexico (which, btw, we were honored to visit as part of the MTV Latin American Music Awards), heads to Monterrey, Mexico on March 3rd, and then over to Guatemala City, Guatemala on March 5th. We will close out this leg of the tour in San Juan, Puerto Rico on March 14th, where we technically have BEEN before, but two or three of you may remember that unfortunately the show scheduled in 1993 was rained out."

March
1 - Guadalajara, Mexico - Estadio Tres de Marzo
3 - Monterrey, Mexico - Estadio Universitario
5 - Guatemala City, Guatemala - Estadio Mateo Flores
14 - San Juan, Puerto Rico - Coliseo de Puerto Rico

Metallica recently issued the following:
"In June of this year we were fortunate enough to return to Mexico City for three sold out shows at Foro Sol Stadium and with 155,000 of you there over the three nights, we knew it would be extra special. So we asked our friend Wayne Isham to join us with a film crew and the results of that crazy, magical, most memorable long weekend will be available on DVD and CD starting November 30th as Orgullo, Pasion y Gloria: Tres Noches En La Ciudad de Mexico (Pride, Passion, and Glory: Three Nights In Mexico City).
The region free DVDs and CDs include songs from all three shows recorded on June 4th, 6th, and 7th. Each show had a unique set list, totaling 34 different songs... they're all there on the two DVD set along with interviews with us.
Other versions that will be available include one DVD (18 tracks), Blu-ray version of that DVD, a digi-pack with the DVD and two CDs, and finally the aforementioned deluxe version in a slip case with two DVDs and two CD'.
Tracklistings for each configuration can be seen here. In keeping with the local theme, all the credits will be in Spanish (Portuguese for our Brazilian buddies) and will only be available at stores in Latin America. Of course we will also have it in The official Metallica.com Store, starting sometime the week of December 7th.
Most areas of Latin America will have the DVD available on November 30th, however if you live in Brazil, check your local music store on December 8th and for fans in Argentina and Chile, Orgullo, Pasion y Gloria: Tres Noches En La Ciudad de Mexico hits the stores on December 10th. All DVD's are region free and will play on any player worldwide.
And of course since we had such an amazing time in Mexico, we can't wait to go back... we'll see you in Monterrey and Guadalajara in March. More details on those shows coming very soon!"
