Metallica to open up for The Rolling Stones in San Fran
Wishes really do come true.
At least that’s how it appears for heavy metal titans, Metallica, after they eagerly signed on board to open up for The Rolling Stones in San Francisco.
“Over the course of our career we’ve been fortunate enough to share the stage with a select few of the bands we grew up on, admired and respected including AC/DC, Deep Purple, Guns N’ Roses and Iron Maiden. The only band that we have never played with but have always wanted to is the Rolling Stones,” says drummer Lars Ulrich.
It’s no wonder why these rockers bailed out on their vacation plans.
Not only is Metallica scheduled to play amongst these admirable icons, but they’ll perform both shows in their hometown San Francisco on November 13th and November 15th at SBC Park.
The roster of opening bands is impressive as it should be, considering The Stones have earned a reputation as a bona fide rock band.
Other opening acts include Joss Stone, Pearl Jam, Maroon 5, and The Tragically Hip.
