"BlizzCon is on!," posted Metallica. "The annual gathering of those around the globe who are part of the gaming communities surrounding Blizzard Entertainment's huge games Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft is taking place in Anaheim, CA and lucky for us, they have invited us to their party."

BlizzCon fetaures developer panels, exclusive interviews, intense eSports tournaments, the legendary Friday night contests, and now Metallica. "We're thrilled to have Metallica blowing out our speakers at BlizzCon this year," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "After two full days of epic gaming and intense eSports action, an earth-shaking concert is the perfect sendoff for everyone at the show and watching from home."
