Metallica in the United Arab Emirates by Angela Albee

For the first time ever, on December 3, 2025, heavy metal icons Metallica will take the stage at the Beyon Al Dana Amphitheatre in Bahrain. Just 3 days later, they will be part of the 2025 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Yas Island, near Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates and will be performing during the after-race concerts.

Tickets to the show in Bahrain will be available via Beyon Al Dana Amphitheatre’s official web site, www.beyonaldana.com.bh. Tickets for the after-race concerts are being held exclusively for those already holding tickets for the race.

This will be the third time for Metallica performing in Abu Dhabi after making their debut on the island in 2011. The after-race concert is touted to be life-changing as they are a perfect addition to the 2025 F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
