Thrash metal legends, Metallica, have always been most desired band to come and perform in India and that has finally become true. In an interview with Inland Empire Weekly, bassist Robert Trujillo has revealed their plans to come to India in October.

Here is an excerpt of the interview quoting the band’s plans :

“Also, we are going to play India in October,” Trujillo says. “That should be interesting, playing a place we never thought in our wildest dreams we’d [go] to play. It’s an honor for all of us that we get to be a part of that whole music scene as a metal band sharing our music with fans in India at this incredible concert!”
