This week saw the confirmation of Metallica’s participation in a number of Danny Wimmer Presents festivals. At a press conference at Metallica’s headquarters held on Thursday, October 10th Danny Wimmer, with the band’s drummer Lars Ulrich in attendance, announced the band’s appearance at next year’s Welcome To Rockville, Epicenter, Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock.
