According to Metronews.ca, concert promoter Harold MacKay is hoping METALLICA is a bigger draw than PAUL MCCARTNEY.
The concert was the worst-held secret in the last few weeks, but details were officially announced yesterday morning.
Metallica with MATT MAYS, PROTEST THE HERO, SEETHER and COHEED AND CAMBRIA will shake Garrison Grounds July 14.
Venue capacity of 30,000 is less than the Halifax Common but concert promoter MacKay said he is hoping to sell out. The Paul McCartney concert on the Common drew only 26,504 ticket holders.
“You never know what you’re going sell, but it’s a great site and we’ve got one of the biggest bands in the world performing so I think we’ll be fine,” Mac-Kay said.
MacKay’s company, Power Promotional Events Inc., went bankrupt last October after disappointing ticket sales for several concerts.
