The channel in association with F1 Rocks will telecast the one-hour special of historic Metallica performance one week after the live event.
Apart from the concert, F1 Rocks and MTV has organized a nationwide wide band hunt, where a lucky band selected through online voting will get a lifetime opportunity to perform at the concert. MTV will telecast this nationwide search as four episodes of half-hour.
MTV India channel head Aditya Swamy said, "MTV reaches approx 130 million people across 40 million homes and it’s a huge thing for MTV to broadcast the most awaited concert in India in association with F1 Rocks. Metallica concert will boost the Indian economy as international acts tend to do well in the live-music circuit in an emerging economy like India.”
