Metallica have confirmed they will film four shows on their World Magnetic Tour for a new concert DVD.

“There’s been a little chatter here and there about us filming a few shows this summer for potential release on DVD and among the countless Internet rumors, these ones are actually true!” the band announced in a recent posting on their official website.

“We thought it would be cool to document a few shows that are unique and sure to be extra memorable for us, and hopefully for you too.”

The band will bring camera crews to their three shows at Mexico City’s Foro Sol on June 4, 6, and 7, as well as their July 7 show in Nimes, France at the Arenes De Nimes, a historic Roman amphitheatre. All four shows are sold out.

The statement on the website concludes: “For any Metallica friends going to these shows, bring your war faces and don’t be scared of the cameras!!!”

Metallica have said they plan to tour through 2010 in support of last year’s “Death Magnetic,” their ninth studio album. They currently have shows scheduled through mid-December, including seven sold-out Canadian dates.
