Metallica to perform at Formula 1 season closing in Abu Dhabi!
This concert is not just another show. It will be part of the final chord of M72's grand world tour, organized in support of the latest album. In addition to the tour's conclusion, the band plans to hold several exclusive concerts, and the performance in Abu Dhabi under the stars of the Arabian night is one of the most highly anticipated.
Fans can expect an incredible surge of pure energy! Spectators will hear the greatest hits that defined the modern look of heavy metal and made Metallica the most popular and commercially successful band in this genre. The show will include such immortal compositions as “Master of Puppets”, “Creeping Death” and “Enter Sandman”, as well as touching ballads “Fade to Black” and “The Unforgiven”, not to mention the iconic “Nothing Else Matters”.
This song occupies a special place not only in the band’s repertoire, but also in the hearts of millions of fans around the world, even among those who usually listen to other music. “Nothing Else Matters” is the most quoted and performed Metallica composition, created by James Hetfield as a deeply personal piece (originally not intended for the band!), was included on the famous album “The Black Album” (1991) at the insistence of the other members. For more than 30 years, it has remained the most important rock ballad of all time, and its live performance in Abu Dhabi will be one of the most emotional moments of the evening.
Metallica is a phenomenon without borders. The only band to have conquered every continent. Over the course of their 44-year career, they have experienced a lot: ups and downs, the tragic death of bassist Cliff Burton, lineup changes, personal struggles, and the trials of fame and fortune. But they have survived, remaining true to their music and their army of devoted fans. Their lyrics remain sincere and honest, and their connection with the audience is direct and clear. Metallica concerts invariably collect full houses all over the world.
Don't miss your chance to witness one of the most spectacular performances of living metal legends against the backdrop of one of the most spectacular events in the world sports calendar! Tickets for the Metallica concert at Etihad Park are available on our website. It will be an evening where the adrenaline of Formula 1 meets the irresistible energy of Metallica.
