A musical hurricane named Metallica will cover Abu Dhabi.
The Abu Dhabi concert will be part of the M72 world tour, dedicated to the release of their eleventh studio album, "72 Seasons." This album has already received high praise from critics and earned the band a prestigious Grammy Award. The M72 tour features an innovative approach: a giant ring-shaped stage is located in the center of the venue, with the famous "Snake Pit" – an area for the most devoted fans – located right in the center. This layout creates a unique 360-degree view, giving the audience a feeling of complete presence and unity with the artists.
Tens of thousands of fans will gather at Etihad Park, the largest outdoor concert arena in the region, to be part of this unforgettable event. The concert is unique in that it combines the power of Formula 1 with the energy of heavy metal. Spectators will be able to enjoy legendary hits such as "Enter Sandman," "Master of Puppets," and "Nothing Else Matters," as well as new tracks.
A Metallica performance is more than just a post-race concert; it's a major event in its own right, attracting not only motorsports fans but also lovers of high-quality heavy music from around the world to Abu Dhabi. The return of these rock giants to the Yasalam After-Race Concerts stage after a long break promises to fill the evening with drive, powerful sound, and emotions that will remain in the memory for a long time.
