Metallica cancel Frauenfeld Rocks festival appearance

Metallica have cancelled a June 29 headlining appearance at the Frauenfeld Rocks festival in Switzerland just hours before the event after an unidentified member within their touring party tested positive for COVID-19.

"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,” shared the band on social media. "We are beyond sorry to disappoint those of you planning to attend this show. 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.

"If you have a ticket and would still like to attend Out In The Green, you will receive a refund of 50 Swiss francs. Should you decide not to attend the festival altogether, you will be refunded the ticket price by the respective ticket agencies; you may request a refund for your ticket at Ticketmaster.ch."


Metallica are currently next scheduled to perform at Rock Werchter in Belgium on July 1 as part of their summer festival tour of Europe; the series will wrap up at NOS Alive in Lisbon, Portugal; on July 8. See also:
