Is Metallica coming to the Premier Center?

Update:

The Denny Sanford Premier Center posted a new short video on Saturday night. This time, the 'M' in 'Monday' changes to an 'M' that just happens to look exactly like the 'M' in the Metallica logo. And, of course, Metallica's Facebook page shared the same video.

So, yeah, this is almost certainly going to happen.

Earlier story

A cryptic video post on the Facebook page of The Denny Sanford Premier Center could be teasing a big-time concert announcement for Monday.

The video GIF shows only the word Monday, posted shortly after 2 p.m. Friday. It might just be a coincidence, but the legendary American rock band Metallica posted the exact same GIF from its social media accounts at the same time teasing a tour announcement Monday.

While Premier Center officials won't confirm that Metallica will be coming to Sioux Falls until a formal announcement Monday, excited music fans on Facebook took the simultaneous posts as evidence that the band's 26 year hiatus from South Dakota could be coming to an end.

"OMG ... better not be fake news!!" one commenter wrote. "Metallica just shared the same video," said another.

If Metallica is, in fact, coming to the Premier Center, it'll be another high-profile rock band in the three-year old event center's portfolio. Avenged Sevenfold, Nickelback, Twenty One Pilots and Foo Fighters have already been here and Imagine Dragons is schedule to perform in June.

Metallica last played in Sioux Falls when they were at the Arena on May 14, 1992.
