Metallica with support from Jack Black's Tenacious D will be playing outdoors at an Irish concert this summer. The two bands will perform at Dublin's Marlay Park on Wednesday 20th August as part of Metallica's 'Summer Vacation Tour 2008'.

Marlay Park is a 300 acre suburban public park located in Rathfarnham in Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, in Co. Dublin, Ireland and is about ten kilometres (six miles) from Dublin city centre.

Metallica last played in Ireland in 2006 at a sold-out concert at the RDS. The veteran rockers are currently working on their ninth studio album and so crowds could hear some of their latest material.

Jack Black and Kyle Gass better know as Tenacious D played a sold-out concert at the RDS Simmonscourt last year. For both acts this is a warm up show before their appearances at this year's Reading And Leeds Festivals.

Tickets go on sale Friday 18th April at 9am priced at €74.50 and eFestivals will have links for you to buy them then.
