Heavy metal band Metallica have confimed their attendance for the F1 Rocks concert to be held at the inaugural Indian Grand Prix in October.
The nine-time Grammy Award winning band will headline the concert with several other artists yet to be announced, though they will likely include popular Indian singers.
The band confirmed the news on their site: “At this stage in the game, there are very few places in the world that we have not dragged our gear and crew to, so that makes this show announcement extra special,” said lead singer James Hetfield.
“For the first time ever, we will be visiting India for two shows! It’s about time, wouldn’t you say? Up first will be Delhi on October 28, 2011 at F1 Rocks, held in Leisure Valley, Sector 29, Gurgaon as we help to celebrate the first Grand Prix race ever held in India.”
