METALLICA will be performing in Saudi Arabia for the first time ever. They will headline the opening night of the Soundstorm festival in Riyadh on December 14.
This concert marks the first major heavy metal concert in the country, and Metallica‘s previous performances in the Middle East have been well-received.
The band has a fervent fan base in the region and the festival is considered to be Saudi Arabia’s answer to the UK’s Glastonbury festival, attracting a large number of attendees.
METALLICA comments: “We’re not done with 2023 just yet, as an amazing opportunity has just come our way to perform at a major festival that we have never played in a part of the world we rarely get to visit.
“We’re excited to announce that on Thursday, December 14 we’ll be the first hard rock band to ever play at @MDLBeast’s Soundstorm Festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“Festival and single-day tickets are available now at mdlbeast.com.”
