There are concerts. There are races. And then there’s Metallica performing at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and any headbanger worth his salt wouldn’t want to give this gig a miss.

On Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Etihad Park will not only be filled with the roar of Formula 1 engines but will also resonate with the power chords of one of the greatest heavy metal bands ever.

Welcome to the Golden Circle, where there will be no-rules or the all-access zone where the metal heads can stand shoulder-to-shoulder and sweat out every note.

The Golden Circle: Not for the Faint of Heart

Forget the polite clapping. This is the pit, the closest you can get to the stage and soak in pure metal energy, You can also avail:

• Fast-track entry, skip the lines and get straight into the pit.
• Dedicated beverage stations.
• And the cleanest, easiest exit in the house to escape the after-concert rush.

All-Day Access to the F1 Carnival

Saturday is the qualifying rounds day, where some of the world’s top drivers will be battling it out at the Yas Marina Circuit in pursuit of pole position.

Oasis Zones: Where the Party Starts Early
