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.

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.”
