METALLICA Break Attendance Records In Estonia

June 14, 2006

According to a press release issued by the Estonian concert agency BDG, METALLICA's June 13, 2006 concert at Tallinn Song Festival Grounds in Estonia was attended by around 78,000 people — breaking all previous audience records (the previous record was set by MICHAEL JACKSON in 1997).

Preparations for the massive event started already last Friday (June 9). METALLICA arrived in Tallinn few hours before the show and left with police escort right after the concert to Austria. The band also gave a unique small press conference to the Baltic press. Some traditions continued: "Like in year 1999 when METALLICA was here first time, we went with drummer Lars Ulrich for a half-hour run by the seaside near the venue," commented executive producer of the show, Peeter Rebane from BDG. "This show crossed all our expectations. I'm convinced that both the band and the audience got unforgettable memories."

Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip and the Mayor of Tallinn Jüri Ratas came to greet the band before the show. Georgian Defence Minister was also present at the concert.

METALLICA's show in Tallinn was the only one in Northern Europe and brought to Estonia almost 30,000 people from the neighbouring countries. "It is great for our concert tourism," commented Peeter Rebane.
