Dates continue to surface for Metallica [ tickets ]'s current tour behind last year's "St. Anger," which now stretches into late November.

The group--which has opted to reveal new dates one at a time over the past few months--has added stops in Rosemont, IL; Austin, TX; San Antonio, TX; and Duluth, GA. Tickets for all four shows will go on sale this month. Details appear below.

Members of Metallica's official fan club have access to fan-club-only tickets. Details are available at the fan club's website.

Last month, the Bay Area-based group received three nominations for this year's California Music Awards: Outstanding Hard Rock Album ("St. Anger"), Outstanding Guitarist (Kirk Hammett) and Outstanding Drummer (Lars Ulrich). The awards ceremony takes place on June 6 in Oakland; the band will be touring Europe at that time.

"St. Anger," Metallica's first collection of all-new material since 1997, surfaced last June. The title track won this year's Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
