Heavy metal rock band from Los Angeles Metallica has confirmed their performance in Singapore as part of their Asian tour this August.
The concert which will be held at the Singapore Changi Exhibition Centre is their second concert in the republic over a period of 20 years.
“Tickets to the general admission show go on sale on Friday, June 28 at 9:00 AM local time at www.sistic.com.sg, and at 10:00 AM local time at ticketing agents,” the band said on their official website on Thursday.
Singapore is the fifth Asian destination for the band, after Tokyo, Osaka, Shanghai, and Seoul. The concert in Shanghai on August 13 will be the band’s first concert in China over a period of 31 years.
However, the closing statement appears as if there will be more stops which will be announced very soon.
“We aren't finished yet, so as we like to say, keep watching this space!” the statement reads.
Astro AWANI was told that an organiser is trying to bring Metallica to Kuala Lumpur and is in the final round of discussion.
The media in Indonesia has reported that there are efforts to bring the group to Jakarta this October but the band is more likely to perform in Jakarta on the same Asian tour in August.
This is due to the fact that there is a one-week period in between the concert in Seoul on August 18 and in Singapore on August 24.
August 10: Tokyo
August 11: Osaka
August 13: Shanghai
August 18: Seoul
???? Jakarta
???? Kuala Lumpur
August 24: Singapore
In February and March, Metallica performed in five cities in Australia before heading to Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa and Abu Dhabi in April.
Metallica’s 3D movie concert titled 'Through the Never' will premiere at all IMAX theatres around the world starting this September.
Members of this heavy metal band are James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo dan Lars Ulrich. They are the fourth biggest selling artist in the United States. They’ve produced nine studio albums which have sold more than 52 million units in the US alone.
They formed their own recording company last year with the name Blackened Recordings and have gotten publishing rights from all of their studio albums.
