For the first time in almost five years, the heavy metal band Metallica will once again give two concerts in Munich. On Friday and Sunday the group will perform at the Olympic Stadium as part of the “M72 World Tour.” The double concert is the only one that Metallica will offer this year in Germany.
Both dates will feature completely different songs, a concept Metallica calls “No Repeat Weekend.”
Classics like “Nothing Else Matters” or “Enter Sandman” are likely to be mixed with titles from the album “72 Seasons,” which was released last year. Supporting bands also change: Architects and MammothWVH open on Friday, followed by Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills on Sunday.
Metallica will perform on a round stage, within which is the “Snake Pit”, a standing area where fans can get especially close to the band. Metallica gave their first concert in Munich almost 40 years ago at the Circus Krone. With the current lineup of James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo, the band last took to a German stage almost exactly a year ago, at a concert at Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion.
