Metallica decided to postpone the concert due to “technical problems”, the public did not take it well…

Gurgaon stadium ring a bell? Probably not, normal. It is located in Delhi, India, and you should not know of its existence, but Metallica do know perfectly well how it is and where it is because in 2011 they had a bad time with a concert they had on their ‘Death Magnetic’ album tour.

People did not react as the band could expect to the announcement to cancel the concert due to “technical difficulties”. The police decided to arrest four of the organizers of the concert as they alleged that they wanted to cheat the attendees with the price of their tickets. In addition, they asked the bank to freeze that money until everything is clarified.

The concert was going to be on October 28, 2011, in relation to an F1 event, we talked about more than 25,000 people that they had to turn around when they learned all this. Everything got out of control when it was communicated through the loudspeakers of the venue that “Due to some technical issues, we are postponing the Metallica concert for tomorrow.” This happened because a security barrier had previously been broken, which was the beautiful case of the following.

Dozens of people stormed the stage, breaking through barricades, crashing the sound system, and throwing bottles and chairs at everyone they saw around them. Some images are reminiscent of what happened at Woodstock 99. Metallica evidently gave a statement where it said that “Our first and foremost concern is always your safety.”

The police continued to analyze everything that had happened in the compound and said that “the show was canceled without prior information to ticket buyers or [a] the district administration, which could have caused [un] public order problem” . Come on, more tickets had come than should be putting the safety of the band and the people at risk.Some time later, it is the same year, they would end up playing in Bangalore without a problem.
