Apocalyptica is a band famous for playing for Metallica with four cellos. Aside from that, it looks like they’re planning a US tour in 2008 but their MySpace page currently lists European dates only. Ticketmaster shows an additional two US dates (Chicago and Dallas) and a May 5 date at Irving Plaza popped up briefly yesterday, but then disappeared from LiveNation.com. If that one doesn’t come back, I’d imagine something else will turn up at another NYC venue.
UPDATE: Irving Plaza tickets go on sale Wed, 2/27 at 10:00 am EST.
