Legendary band Metallica will delight their fans with a performance at Etihad Park as part of the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Metallica is returning to the UAE after 12 years, and their concert in Abu Dhabi promises to be one of the most memorable musical events of the season. As part of the M72 world tour, the band will present their latest, critically acclaimed and Grammy-winning 11th studio album, "72 Seasons." Audiences will be treated to a spectacular show featuring spectacular pyrotechnics, laser installations, giant LED screens, and a unique stage. The concert will feature not only legendary hits from the 80s and 90s—such as "Master of Puppets," "Enter Sandman," "One," and "Seek & Destroy"—but also new tracks from the latest album.

In addition to Metallica, other renowned artists will also perform at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Yasalam music program includes performances by a host of stars: rising pop star Benson Boone will open the event on December 4, and popular singer Katy Perry will close the race weekend on Sunday, December 7. All performances will take place on the Etihad Park stage and will be available only to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ticket holders, with the option to upgrade to the Golden Circle for a better view of the stage.

The Formula 1 Championship Final in Abu Dhabi traditionally attracts spectators from all over the world. In 2025, we will not only see thrilling championship battles on the track, but also spectacular evening concerts at Etihad Park. Tickets for the races and music events are now on sale, offering a unique opportunity to be part of a massive open-air festival of speed and music. Buy tickets to the Metallica concert.

The Metallica concert on December 6, 2025, at Etihad Park will be the culmination of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix music program.
