Metallica is headed to Minneapolis for a two-night performance at U.S. Bank Stadium, but the band is also delivering on a vow to take over the Twin Cities between gigs on August 16 and 18.
A Metallica-packed Saturday, billed as the Metallica Takeover, will feature a Metallica Film Festival, a tribute band, a photo exhibit and discussion, a “Name That Tune” competition, a concert from Bastardane featuring the sons of Metallica band members, a pop-up shop, and, possibly because Metallica’s fanbase is no longer as young as it once was, bowling.
The M72 World Tour promises that the thrash metal icons will deliver a unique show on each of the two nights, with new set lists (no song will be played on both nights) and different openers.
