Formula 1 and Metallica: the grand finale of the season in Abu Dhabi!

This concert is not just one of the shows, but a part of the grand finale of the M72 world tour, dedicated to the band's latest album. In addition to the tour finale, Metallica has planned several unique concerts, and the performance in Abu Dhabi under the starry sky of the Arabian Peninsula is one of the most anticipated events.

The upcoming show promises a powerful charge of pure energy! The audience will be able to enjoy the legendary hits that defined the modern look of heavy metal and secured Metallica's status as one of the most popular and commercially successful bands in this genre. The setlist will certainly include such eternal anthems as "Master of Puppets", "Creeping Death" and "Enter Sandman", as well as heartfelt ballads "Fade to Black" and "The Unforgiven". And, of course, the iconic “Nothing Else Matters”.

“Nothing Else Matters” holds a special place in the band’s repertoire and in the hearts of millions of fans around the world, even among those who usually prefer other music. Written by James Hetfield as a deeply personal composition (not originally intended for the band), the song 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 greatest 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. This is the only band that has conquered all continents. Over 44 years, they have been through a lot: ups and downs, the tragic death of bassist Cliff Burton, lineup changes, struggles with inner demons and the trials of fame and fortune. However, they have survived, remaining true to their music and an army of devoted fans. Their lyrics remain sincere and honest, without any pretensions to perfection, continuing to maintain a simple and direct connection with the audience. The band's concerts consistently set attendance records around the world.

Don't miss the opportunity to witness the most brilliant performance of the legendary masters of metal against the backdrop of one of the most impressive 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 merges with the unstoppable energy of Metallica.
