On the Metallica website there's a statement about their plans for appearances at next summer's festivals.

It says (on a page dated 12th December 2002) "the band is currently in negotiations to appear at the Reading Festival in the U.K.. Festival dates are August 21-24, Metallica's appearance date will be announced here as soon as it is confirmed."

However, it appears that there is an error in the dates given - it's likely that the dates for Reading & Leeds Festivals will be Friday 22nd - Sunday 24th August.
