One out of leftfield.
Apparently rock Gods (and the biggest metal act ever) Metallica have confirmed a headline slot at MIDI festival in Beijing in October 2010. We have nothing confirmed on this yet (we will get to that tomorrow) but apparently it is all over Chinese TV – and the band are playing Japan 24.26 September, so it could all be true.
This would be a quite INCREDIBLE development for China’s music scene, to have a band of this stature headline China’s longest running festival. If it is true, then massive, massive props to Shan Wei and Zhang Fan and book your tickets for Haidian Park during the October holiday NOW.
Alternatively, this could just be post Fuji Rock hallucinations….
