For one magic moment I thought Metallica was coming to RIPE-50.

You may find listing the country superfluous information - However you'd be
surprised how many people confuse the Scandinavian countries - How many
times have I heard  "You're from Oslo, is that the capital of Sweden?"

Besides, most events are listed that way, as they are on the events calendar
at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/calendar.html

Same on Metallica's concert tour for instance:
