KISS, METALLICA To Play Bulgaria
February 13, 2008According to News.bg, METALLICA and KISS will play in Bulgaria this spring/summer.
KISS will perform on May 16 at Akademik Stadium in Sofia, one day after making a stop in Belgrade, Serbia.
It is rumored that METALLICA demanded $1.5 million to play in the country, although this information has not been corroborated by an official source.
KISS will perform in Melbourne, Australia on Sunday, March 16 to close the 2008 Grand Prix.
METALLICA has been announced as one of the headliners for the 2008 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, scheduled for June 12 through June 15 in Manchester, Tennessee. METALLICA will headline the bill on June 13. A statement at the band's web site said in part, "The Bonnaroo gang does an amazing job at giving you everything you could want/need for a great weekend...so hang out, soak up the vibe, and embrace the whole experience."
The choice of METALLICA as a headliner is bound to cause controversy, given the festival's more relaxed vibe and past leanings toward jam bands, indie acts and prog-rock. Although TOOL performed last year, the METALLICA audience is often decidedly more raucous.
