The stars arrive with 15 long vehicles transporting the equipment for the long-expected concert.
A few hours separate the Bulgarian metal music fans from the most grandiose musical event ever held in Bulgaria. The legends from Metallica will perform their show before 50,000 Bulgarian fans at Vassil Levski stadium. This is Metallica's second concert in Bulgaria, their first gig took place in Bulgaria's second largest city - Plovdiv - several years ago.

The godfathers of metal music are after a world record in music! Their last album Death Magnetic is on its way to turn into a presales' blockbuster in this branch.
The lords of metal music arrive with tons of pyrotechnical equipment. Several dozens of experts from their technical team have arrived in Sofia with 15 long vehicles, transporting the special effects. Only the illuminations for the show weigh more than 40 tons. The Vassil Levski national stadium will be blocked off by numerous guards responsible for the security.
Metallica arrive in Bulgaria at the invitation of Balkan Entertainment with the support of Kamenitza, Coca-Cola and Ford Moto-Phoe.
