This will not be Metallica’s first time performing in Israel. In 1993, the band members had their first-ever concert at the Yarkon Park in Tel Aviv. Six years later, Metallica returned to Israel and performed at the Amphi-Park in Rishon Lezion.

 

Metallica, one of the most popular heavy metal bands to date is supposed to arrive in Israel as part of its European tour making its way to Russia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Germany, Turkey, Romania, Belgium, France and England.

 

Nir Portzelina, Director-General of Sports operating the Nokia Stadium said in response, “We are indeed conducting negotiations surrounding Metallica’s arrival in Israel and we hope that they come to fruition. The outcome looks positive.”

 

Ronit Arbel, Shuki Weiss’ spokeswoman refused to comment.
