Legendary metal band Metallica is planning a concert at Etihad Park as part of the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Metallica will make their long-awaited return to Abu Dhabi after 12 years. This event promises to be one of the most significant music events of the season. As part of the M72 world tour, dedicated to their 11th studio album, "72 Seasons," which received critical acclaim and won a Grammy Award for Best Album of the Year in 2024, Metallica will present a spectacular show. Spectators will be treated to a spectacular spectacle featuring pyrotechnics, laser effects, giant LED screens, and a unique stage, making the concert a truly unforgettable experience. The program will feature legendary hits from the 80s and 90s, such as "Master of Puppets," "Enter Sandman," "One," "Seek & Destroy," as well as new tracks from the latest album.

In addition to Metallica, other renowned artists will perform at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Yasalam Festival will delight fans with a host of stellar performances. The musical festivities will begin on December 4 with a concert by up-and-coming pop artist Benson Boone, and the race weekend will conclude on Sunday, December 7, with popular singer Katy Perry. All concerts will be held at the Etihad Park stage and are exclusive to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ticket holders. Those interested can upgrade their seats to the Golden Circle level for maximum comfort and proximity to the stage. Buy tickets to the Metallica concert.

The Formula 1 Final in Abu Dhabi traditionally attracts thousands of fans from all over the world.
