Metallica will soon wrap an epic touring cycle for Death Magnetic but they have no plan of taking it easy in 2011. Yesterday came news that the band plans to begin work on their next album and today we learn they have already booked a major festival gig for next year. Here is what they had to say:

We know it's pretty nutty to announce a show almost a year in advance . . . certainly not something we've ever done before! However, when we were asked to headline the original Rock in Rio, the one actually in Rio de Janeiro (!!), we just couldn't say "no."

After playing at other Rock in Rio festivals in Lisbon and Madrid years past, it seemed like it would make for a fun break from whatever (??!!) we might be doing a year from now. So we hope you'll dig up a 2011 calendar and mark off September 25, 2011 for a date with 'Tallica in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. - metallica.com
