I want to take a moment and point out if you didn’t already know… Apocalyptica is playing an outdoor radio station festival, KFMA Radio Day, in AZ on the 16th of May. Why this is of note is that the headliners are Metallica! How often do Apocalyptica and Metallica share the stage? Given that Metallica was very supportive of Apocalyptica in the beginning of their career, I can’t imagine them not coming out and joining Apocalyptica for a song or two. Hey it’s my fantasy, let me have it.

Either way, even though my wish to see Apocalyptica again one more time this tour has been fulfilled with the addition of the Ventura, CA date, I’m still toying with the idea of taking the day off work and trekking out there for this.

Tickets are still available.

KFMA DAY 2008 Concert at the Pima County Fairgrounds, Tucson, Arizona.
Featuring Metallica, Flobots, Apocalyptica, & Scars On Broadway.
$47.50 + 7.25 s/ch.
All seats are general admission.
Rain or Shine.
Gates at 3:00pm and Music 4:00pm

That adds up. For two tickets, you’re looking at $112.50. Between that and the high cost of gas, I may sit it out anyways. If you go, let us know what happened!

Apocalyptica’s 6th studio album, “Worlds Collide” is set for release in the US on April 15th. About time!

They are also touring to support the album release. I already have my tickets for two of these shows. I have never seen them live but I am sure it will be an experience. Half naked men playing metal on cellos…how could that be boring!

Update: The Las Vegas date has been moved to the end of the tour to May 19th. Also they’re playing a festival in AZ on May 16th. Should be good because Metallica is also in the lineup for the festival!
