Metallica are planning to take a break from writing and recording a new album in order to play some European festivals, one of which is the Download Festival, which, as previously reported, has already confirmed The Prodigy as one of its other headline acts. A post on Metallica's official website said that the group planned to spend 2006 on the aforementioned long-player, but have been lured away by the idea of a "summer vacation hanging out with the coolest live music festivals on the planet".
