We are incredible proud and happy that it’s possible to get the world’s biggest metal band to test the steel in the new Royal Arena with a massive bang of a pair of opening concerts! The joy only gets bigger as it’s one of Denmark's biggest international musical profiles that personally wanted to be part of the event and to celebrate and consecrate Copenhagen's new arena.

On 18 November, the band will release their tenth studio album "Hard Wired ... To Self-Destruct".

"Hardwired ... To Self-¬Destruct" is the follow up to "Death Magnetic" from 2008, which topped the charts worldwide. The new album is produced by Greg Fidelman, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, and when Metallica is coming to Royal Arena in February, it will be the first opportunity for fans to hear the band's new material live in Europe, and Metallica will deliver a "one off" show, for the occasion.

 Royal Arena is Denmark's future multi-purpose arena with a maximum capacity for concerts at approximately 16,000 guests. The arena, which is located centrally in Ørestad between Copenhagen Airport and the capital's city hall, designed by the Danish arkitekthus 3XN. It is Realdania and Copenhagen Municipality, which owns the building itself, and the arena is run by a company under Live Nation Entertainment, the world's leading organizer of live entertainment.
