Metallica to play European Sonisphere festivals as part of Big 4
Why does Europe get all the cool festival line-ups? It’s just been announced that Metallica will join forces with 3 other metal megastars, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, to make up the so-called “Big Four” for the upcoming Sonisphere festivals this summer in Europe.
Other acts to take part on during various stops include Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, The Cult and Alice Cooper among others. Metallica’s Lars is super stoked at the prospect of performing with so much leather, exclaiming, “Who would have thought that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal’s big 4 would not only still be around and more popular than ever, but will now play together for the first time… what a mindf**k! Bring it on!’
If backpacking through Europe this summer is in your plans, be sure to be on the lookout for these concerts and check them out! Sonisphere festivals are taking place in Poland, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Spain and many more.
