If you're a metal head then the thought of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax performing on one stage is enough to get your knees wobbly.

Well unfortunately this isn't an announcement that they're performing in SA, but it is the next best thing. Sandton City Ster Kinekor will be screening The Big Four concert, which features all four internationally acclaimed bands, on 30 July and 1 August.

The Big Four was a groundbreaking concert that took place at the Sonisphere Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria on 22 June, where metalheads around the world got to watch Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax perform on one stage together, for one night only.

Now you'll have the opportunity to watch this concert in high definition digital quality at selected Ster Kinekor theatres, including Sandton City, on 30 July and 01 August 2010.

No other performance dates are lined up for this once-in-a-lifetime concert, which means that watching it at Ster-Kinekor cinemas will be the only opportunity to experience these four bands performing together.

The show is 3,5 hours in length and is definitely an audiovisual feast that no diehard metal fan can afford to miss!

Concert-goers will also stand to win an iconic Harley Davidson jacket. 

Please note that this show may contain strong language and material not suitable for younger viewers.

Tickets are sold at R70 per person and for bookings, please visit www.sterkinekor.com or call 082 16789.

Look of the Day

We spotted Lerato in Sandton City looking sassy and sophisticated in a black belted trench coat adorned with gold buttons, a grey winter hat, wide-legged jeans and white pumps.

Trench coats are great for updating your wardrobe. This fashion item dates all the way back to 1846 (first made popular by Burberry) and in today's time it's is definitely a wardrobe staple for every Fashionista.

This season we can look forward to military-style trenches; bold patterns and prints, delicious ice-cream pastels as well as dramatic hues of red, coral, fuchsia, yellow and teal.

Choose hemlines that end on or just above the knee for a chic look that you can wear over just about anything - from smart trousers and jeans to playful dresses and skirts.

Donate your old flags to charity

Not sure what to do with your flags now that the 2010 World Cup has come to an end? Nashua Mobile has the perfect solution: give them to charity.

Goodbye to winter skin

With Spring just a few short weeks away, soon you won't be able to hide under all those jerseys, jeans and jackets.

The best local sights, sounds and tastes

Got itchy feet? Where better to go exploring than in your own country. We recommend the "Time Out South Africa City Guide 2010".

Come and meet Buzz Lightyear and Woody

Toy Story 3 recently hit the big screen at Ster Kinekor and to make it even more enjoyable, it's in 3D.

If you've ever been lost as a child or if you've ever lost your little one in a busy mall or crowd, you know how quickly that feeling of hysteria takes over.

Icons of Beauty

There are many great things that we love about winter: the fabulous coats and boots, the delicious comforting soups and stews and the cosy evenings spent in front of a fire.

Gift ideas for every dad

This year, Father's Day falls right in the middle of you-know-what, which may result in plenty of side-tracked people leaving the gift-buying to the last possible minute.

The visitors to our country and shopping centre will be on the look out for that perfect and uniquely South African gift to back home with them as a souvenir.

This time for Africa

If you haven't visited the Sony 3D displays in Sandton City and interactive Dome on the Nelson Mandela Square, then you are certainly missing out!

Hublot has unveiled the official licensed watch of the FIFA World Cup™ and we think it is stunning. It is embellished by an alligator and rubber strap and is limited to only 100 pieces.

We love it when you speak foreign

We are thoroughly enjoying the sea of foreigners in our centre lately.

Most Wanted

It’s the perfect item to take you from winter into spring because while optimists might belive that they can feel it in the air, the early mornings and evenings are still chilly.

Yep, it’s a scarf. A shawl. A pashmina. Call it what you will. And now is a good time to invest since Chale – home of the softest, sheerest, most luxurious scarves, shawls and stoles – is on sale.

With up to 50 per cent off, there is a candy box of colours and patterns aplenty.

And with a nod to next season’s 70s boho dressing, a scarf ticks the trend box too.

Work it like Sienna Miller with florals and a blazer.
