On a night fans of Metallica won’t want to miss, Apocalyptica are set to perform carefully crafted interpretations of the US band’s biggest hits.
Metallica are one of the world’s most successful heavy metal groups, with 10 Grammy Award nominations to their name, including one at this year’s event, which took place in February, for Best Metal Performance in relation to their 72 Seasons album, released in 2023.
The Dubai date forms part of Apocalyptica’s European Tour, which begins in Helsinki on June 8th and includes concerts in destinations such as Istanbul, Stockholm, Manchester, London, Dublin, Munich, Paris, Madrid and Milan, before drawing to a close in Belgrade on November 30th.
Founding band-leader, Eicca Toppinen, said: “It’s incredible to think that after all these years our tribute to Metallica still speaks so powerfully to people. To be able to share our love for Metallica’s music with the live audience is an absolutely magical experience. This time the show is going to be next level, and we can’t wait to get back out there and share the fun with our fans!”
Thomas Ovesen, CEO All Things Live Middle East, added: “We are very excited to bring Apocalyptica to Dubai for the first time, offering Metallica fans from around the world the opportunity to experience a night they will remember forever!
“This event reinforces our commitment to delivering world-class entertainment and contributing to the vibrant cultural landscape of the Middle East.”
A creative entertainment space situated right in the heart of Dubai, The Agenda has previously hosted events such as Middle East Fashion Week, Dubai Comedy Festival and Hardcore Boxing.
