March 10, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Camilla Pease-Watkin from Colombiareports.com, security measures are set to be as heavy as the music, when rockers METALLICA take to the stage in Bogota's Simon Bolivar park this evening (March 10th).
Some 1,500 police will be employed to stand guard at the site during Metallica's concert, as well as four tanks and several police trucks, reported El Espectador.
Authorities will also be closing the streets surrounding the park and restricting entry of under-14s, pregnant women, those under the influence of alcohol or drugs and those carrying potential weapons.
The Los Angeles rock behemoths have arrived in the Colombian capital, along with 70 tons of speakers, lights and screens - everything necessary for a spectacular show.
The show will form part of Metallica's world tour to promote their new album Death Magnetic and promises to be one of the best shows of the year in Colombia's concert calendar.
