Metallica to perform in Saudi Arabia for the first time next month

Metallica has been announced as a headliner for Soundstorm 2023, a 3-day mutli-genre music festival that is set to take place over the weekend of December 14th-16th in Saudi Arabia's capital city of Riyadh. This will mark the first appearance in Saudi Arabia for the legendary thrash metal band. 

The band shared the following:

We're not done with 2023 just yet, as an amazing opportunity has just come our way to perform at a major festival that we have never played in a part of the world we rarely get to visit.

We're excited to announce that on Thursday, December 14 we'll be the first hard rock band to ever play at @MDLBeast's Soundstorm Festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Festival and single-day tickets are available now at mdlbeast.com.
