The legendary Metallica will perform at the 2025 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix!

This concert is not just a single performance. It will be part of the final chord of their large-scale M72 World Tour, dedicated to supporting the latest album. However, in addition to the end of the tour, the band has included several special shows in their schedule, and the performance in Abu Dhabi under the starry sky of Arabia is one of the most anticipated.

A powerful charge of pure energy is expected! The audience will hear monumental hits that shaped the face of modern heavy metal and brought Metallica the title of the most listened to and commercially successful band in the genre. The setlist will undoubtedly include eternal anathemas like "Master of Puppets", "Creeping Death" and "Enter Sandman", piercing ballads "Fade to Black" and "The Unforgiven", as well as the cult "Nothing Else Matters".

It is "Nothing Else Matters" that occupies a special place not only in the band's repertoire, but also in the hearts of millions of listeners around the world, including those who usually prefer other music. This most quoted, performed and frank Metallica song, written by James Hetfield as a deeply personal thing (initially not even for the band!), was included in the famous "The Black Album" (1991) at the insistence of other members. For more than 30 years, it has remained the main rock ballad of all time, and its live, original performance in Abu Dhabi will be one of the most emotional moments of the evening.

Metallica is a phenomenon that knows no boundaries. The only band to have conquered every continent. Over the course of 44 years, they have been through it all: ups and downs, the tragic death of bassist Cliff Burton, lineup changes, struggles with personal demons, and the trials of fame and fortune. But they have endured, remaining true to their music and their army of devoted fans. Their lyrics are still sincere, they do not pretend to be perfect and have maintained a direct, simple connection with the audience. Their concerts invariably break attendance records all over the world.

Don't miss your chance to witness the most spectacular performance of a living metal legend against the backdrop of one of the most spectacular events on the world sports calendar! Tickets for the Metallica concert at Etihad Park can be purchased on our website. It will be an evening where the adrenaline of Formula 1 meets the unbridled energy of Metallica.
