COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- American rock band Metallica is to perform "The Black Album" in its entirety at a concert in June at Denmark's former Horsens Prison, organizers said.

The Copenhagen Post reported the group will take the stage at Prison, a new music venue established at the old jailhouse, which can accommodate an audience of 40,000 people.

Metallica is scheduled to play songs from its most commercially successful album at the June 6 show, the Post said.

The band's drummer, Lars Ulrich, was born and raised in Gentofte before moving to the United States in 1980.

"Back to the fatherland. After five great concerts in Forum in the summer of '09, we shall meet again with our Danish friends, inaugurate a new concert venue in Horsens, play 'The Black Album' in its entirety, and even serve a stint in jail!" the newspaper quoted Ulrich as saying. "I'm as excited as a little kid. See you in June."
