Metallica Nominated for Two Billboard Music Awards
Now, I know we don’t give a shit about award nominations thanks to the bullshit that usually goes on around them (looking at you, Grammys), but we’d be remiss if we didn’t report on Metallica‘s two nominations for this year’s Billboard Music Awards.
According to today’s announcement, Metallica are up for top honors in two categories: Top Duo/Group and Top Rock Duo/Group. In the first category, they’ll be up against Eslabon Armado, Fifty Fifty, Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera, while the second category will see them vying for the award against Arctic Monkeys and Foo Fighters.
The Billboard Music Awards will be presented by Marriott Bonvoy and will take place on Sunday, November 19. After which point we can just ignore music awards all together until the Grammys rear their ugly head and do some stupid shit with their rock and metal awards.
As for Metallica, I’m sure they won’t mind either way. They’re doing just fine touring the world and putting out albums that age “really, really well.” Aside from a few dates next month, Metallica’s got the rest of their M72 World Tour scheduled for next year. So if you missed ’em over the summer, you can attend one their other upcoming shows, listed below.
