TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Blackrock Entertainment, promoter of Metallica's concert scheduled to be held on August 25, announced through its twitter account that the concert will be opened with the performance of Seringai, an Indonesian metal band.
"Metallica wants to have a local band as an opening act," said Khrisna Raditya, BlackRock Entertainment CEO. He said that Seringai will perform for one hour before Metallica takes the stage.
Seringai was chosen after the promoter had sent some videos of Indonesian metal bands to Metallica, which decided to pick Seringai.
Seringai had previously released two albums entitled Serigala Militia and Membakar Jakarta. "Metallica is like our teacher in music," said Arian Arifin, Seringai's frontman. "We definitely will try to perform our best," he added.
