Lusail International Circuit (LIC) has announced that globally acclaimed rock band Metallica will light up the Lusail Live stage on the evening of Sunday, November 30 – the final day of the Formula One Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix 2025 which takes place from November 28-30.

Metallica’s headline show promises to deliver an unforgettable night for fans, combining world-class entertainment off-track with world-class racing on track. 

Formed in 1981 by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich and including guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo, Metallica has become one of the most influential and successful rock bands in history, selling nearly 125 million albums worldwide and generating more than 17 billion streams while playing to millions of fans on all seven continents – more than 1.3 million of whom belong to the band’s fiercely loyal and consistently growing Fifth Member fan club. 

Metallica’s catalogue of multi-platinum studio albums includes Kill ’Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, …And Justice for All, Metallica (commonly referred to as The Black Album), Load, ReLoad, St. Anger, Death Magnetic, Hardwired…To Self-Destruct and most recently, the Grammy-winning 72 Seasons, released on April 14, 2023, on the band’s own Blackened Recordings label.

Metallica’s awards and accolades include nine Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, multiple MTV Video Music Awards, a 2009 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Sweden’s Polar Music Prize. In 2017, Metallica established its own charitable foundation, All Within My Hands, to give back to communities that have supported the band.

To date, All Within My Hands’ collective efforts have raised nearly USD20 million since inception, including USD11.4 million in grants to workforce education, USD7.4 million to fight hunger globally and USD5.2 million donated to critical local services around the world. 100 per cent of donations go directly to local organisations that the Foundation supports. As always, Metallica covers all administrative costs. Please visit www.AllWithinMyHands.org for more information.
