The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will bring their world-renowned catalogue of hits including Kill ‘Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, Justice for All, Metallica and Load to Etihad Park.
Metallica is the third act confirmed in a thrilling line-up for the After-Race Concerts, after pop icon Katy Perry and breakout star Benson Boone.
"Metallica deliver life-changing shows. They are the perfect addition to the 2025 F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and Yasalam offering. Saturday will be a day not to miss for F1 and rock fans alike," said David Powell, Chief Strategy & Business Development Officer at Ethara.
Formed in 1981 by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich and including guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo, Metallica has become one of the most influential and successful rock bands in history, selling nearly 125 million albums worldwide and generating more than 17 billion streams. They've won nine Grammy Awards, multiple MTV Video Music Awards, a 2009 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Sweden’s Polar Music Prize.
