Puerto Rico-based death thrashers, Zafakon, have won the spot to open for Metallica on their upcoming show in Puerto Rico, as part of their Worldwired Tour this Wednesday, October 26th at El Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan.
This was the result of Metallica’s worldwide campaign to look for that local band who deserves a shot on their upcoming Latin America leg, which would make the whole world vote for the band that they thought it was the best option to share the stage with the Bay Area legends.
“We don’t have words for this incredible honor. It’s a dream come true. We are so grateful to all the people that voted for us, words cannot even expose how,” said bassist, Weslie Negrón.
This will be the first time that the Puerto Rican band plays at the top arena from the Island. “Thinking about playing where most of my musical heroes have played in and, not only that, that we are sharing the stage with Metallica, it’s surreal. It’s going to be a fun one."
