ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
Metallica has been announced as the third act on the line-up for the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix After-Race Concerts.
The iconic American metal band is to rock Etihad Park on Yas Island on Saturday, 6 December, joining an already stellar lineup of international artists, which includes Benson Boone on Thursday, December 4, and Katy Perry on Sunday, December 7.
Their electrifying, high-octane hits like Enter Sandman, Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters should be just the fuel to get fans' engines revving ahead of race day at the Yas Marina Circuit.
