Show cannot be rescheduled

Metallica has canceled an appearance at Frauenfeld Rocks in Switzerland for today (Wed, June 29th) due to a positive case within the band’s camp. The group shared the disappointing news on social media.

“It is with a very heavy heart that we are announcing that we will not be appearing at Frauenfeld Rocks in Switzerland today, as unfortunately, a member of the Metallica family has tested positive for COVID. We are beyond sorry to disappoint those of you planning to attend this show,” they write.

“It was our intention to reschedule a show in Switzerland as soon as possible, however in overnight discussions with the local promoters, sadly it became apparent that schedules and venues do not line up for the remainder of this year or next.”

Those who want to attend despite Metallica’s cancelation will receive a refund of 50 Swiss francs. However, fans can request a full refund if they no longer want to attend the show which also includes Five Finger Death Punch, Sabaton, Eluveitie, Fever 333, and Chaoseum.

Metallica is currently playing European festivals. Their next scheduled gig is July 1st at Rock Werchter in Werchter, Belgium and then July 3rd at Bilbao Bizkaia Rock Day in Bilboa, Spain.
