Metallica just landed in Birmingham, the venue for this weekend’s Back to the Beginning concert.
The metal titans, who would be performing at the show which would also mark the iconic Black Sabbath’s final live comeback, wasted no time in taking in some of the Paranoid hitmakers’ landmarks.
Taking to their official Instagram, the Fade To Black hitmakers posted a photo featuring their bassist Robert Trujillo standing in front of the Black Sabbath logo on Mr Murals’ astonishing Sabbath mural on Navigation bridge.
They captioned the image: “The kids have landed in Birmingham.”
A second photo was uploaded minutes later, where the legendary front man, James Hetfield, could be seen throwing the devil horns while sitting between Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi on the Black Sabbath Bench on Black Sabbath Bridge.
The rock band’s guitarist and co-founder, Iommi replied to both these posts with the devil horns emoji.
Back to the Beginning, which will be hosted by actor, Jason Mamoa, is set to take place at Villa Park on Saturday, a place where all four original band members of Black Sabbath grew up.
The upcoming concert also boasts arguably the greatest line-up in metal history where alongside Sabbath, Ozzy and Metallica, sets from Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Tool, Rival Sons, Anthrax and Mastodon, would all be featured in the show.
Additionally, the Back to the Beginning promoter and producer, Andy Copping, confirmed to Planet Rock that there will be an additional “two or three” surprise acts as well as a revolving stage.
