METALLICA is nominated for the second annual "Eventful Fans' Choice Award" for the "Best Concert Tour Of The Year" at the 2009 Billboard Touring Awards.

The 2009 Billboard Touring Awards will honor the concert industry's top artists and professionals for the year, based on the Billboard Boxscores chart. Recognition for finalists and awards will be based on actual box office performance between November 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009. In addition, Billboard will honor two individuals who have made a significant impact on the touring industry with the "Legend of Live" and the "Humanitarian" awards.

The winners will be revealed on November 5, 2009 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.

The third annual "Billboard Concert Marketing & Promotion" award will be given to a sponsorship or promotion that benefited the concert industry at large by stimulating attendance to live events, providing value to fans, and promoting the artist and brands involved. The sponsorship or promotion must achieve its marketing goal in a quantifiable way; and can be a tour title sponsorship, a venue naming rights deal, a touring artist's endorsement deal, a single show sponsor, a festival sponsorship, a multifaceted tour sponsorship integration, or other deal, as long as it pertains to live performance that took place between January and September 2009.
