Tons of Rock celebrates 10 years and fulfills the biggest wishes of audiences and festivals. With today’s confirmation, the festival is making good on its promise and bringing in the genre’s biggest titans.

The greatest thing we could have hoped for!

– Bringing Metallica to Norway and Ton of Rock is bigger than words can describe. And the journey to get here was longer than anyone could have imagined, at the same time the distance between us as fans and us as organizers has never been shorter. There will definitely be tears when the notes of Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” light up the plains at Tons of Rock, said Jarle Kvåle, general manager of Tons of Rock.

San Francisco band Metallica released their 12th studio album earlier this year; 72 Seasons and is currently up for grabs with a spectacular stadium show. Today, Tons of Rock confirmed that Metallica will be performing at next year’s festival with the biggest production ever at Ekebergsletta.

– A band of Metallica’s caliber at a festival in Norway is simply sensational, said Martin Nielsen – Chief Promoter of Live Nation and added.

– With Metallica in the pipeline to complement an already renowned program with Judas Priest, Greta Van Fleet and Tool, among others, Tons of Rock and Oslo as a destination have matched international festivals such as Hellfest, Wacken, Copenhell and Sweden Rock in a short time.
