Metallica has checked in with the following update about upcoming Australian tour dates:

"Wow . . . you guys are nuts and we are nuts about you!! It's still mind boggling to us that 13 shows in Australia sold out in less than an hour! So guess what??? We're coming BAAAACCCK! We spent the last couple of weeks trying to put a schedule together in September that would include yet another visit . . . the third one, the prequel if you will. It works out that on our way to Japan we can do just that, so look for us AGAIN on September 15 in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena and September 18 in Sydney at Acer Arena.

"Tickets go on sale June 25 at 9:00 AM. The Visa pre-sale is June 21 at noon through June 23 at 9:00 AM and the Ticketek pre-sale June 23, also at noon, goes through June 24 at 5:00 PM. The World Magnetic tour is indeed starting to wind down . . . just a couple more announcements to go, so keep an eye out here."

So they announce more Australia shows and not NZ.
What the f***.
Our mere two shows sold out in 5 minutes.
And the website crashed so I couldn't even get mine on the minute.
Ridiculous
