HEAVY METAL´S BIG FOUR - LIVE PÅ BIO!
METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADEATH & ANTHRAX
22 juni blir det över fyra timmar Heavy Metal med Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer och Antrax i Folkets Hus och Parkers digitala biokedja. Konserten direktsänds från Sonisphere-festivalen i Sofia, Bulgarien, till ett 50-tal biografer i Folkets Hus och Parkers biokedja.
Uppladdningen inför midsommar blir hetare än någonsin för alla Heavy Metal-älskare. 22 juni intar Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer och Antrax ett 50-tal biografer i hela landet för över fyra timmar het Heavy Metal.
För första gången sedan banden bildades för 25 år sedan spelar de tillsammans – en upplevelse som publiken i Bengtsfors, Iggesund och Osby nu får dela med alla fans som är på plats på Sonisphere-festival i Sofia, Bulgarien.
Folkets Hus och Parkers digitala biokedja har fått många operaälskare att vallfärda till biograferna för att njuta av direktsänd opera, teater och konserter med bland andra David Bowie, Genesis och Robbie Williams. Sommarens Heavy Metal-kväll blir dock den första och det största i sitt slag. Aldrig tidigare har Heavy Metal visats live på en biograf och aldrig tidigare har en så lång konsert visats på bio.
För publiken som ser längtar efter Sonisphere i Stockholm med Slayer och Antrax blir livesändningen på bio 22 juni en perfekt uppladdning. Samma sak gäller för alla som ser fram emot Megadeth på Get Away Rock i Gävle. För landets Metallica-fans kommer nyheten som en extra glad överraskning eftersom bandet inte når Sverige för ett gig på plats under turnén.

are bringing their historic European tour to the global stage by beaming the event
via satellite to movie theaters around the world in a special HD cinematic event.
These four legendary acts broke out of the underground thrash movement in the 1980's
to dominate the metal world, selling millions of records and packing arenas across
the globe. Despite huge demand, these musical giants have never shared the same
stage until now. The legendary June 22nd concert from the tour's stop of the
Sonisphere Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria will air the same day in 450 theaters in over
140 markets in the U.S., as well as beamed into theaters in Europe, Canada and Latin

In December 2009, the bands announced that they would be joining forces to take part
in the traveling Sonisphere Festival for only 7 shows across Europe. Now, this
one-time only event from the Sofia show makes it possible for fans far and wide to
participate in what otherwise is a very limited run of dates. The high-definition
concert presentation will memorialize the event and the impact will be amplified
globally with the cinema screenings, making the dreams of fans around the world over
become a reality.
Lars Ulrich of Metallica says of this historic announcement, "Who would have thought
that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal's Big Four would not only
still be around, be more popular than ever, playing shows together at stadiums all
over Europe, and on top of that, coming to a movie theater near you in High
Definition (for better or worse??!!). Bring it on!"
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian says "Damn, as if this Big 4 tour wasn't exciting enough
now we get to be on the big screen worldwide! Metal at the movies, two big horns up!
It is unbelievably gratifying that this means so much to the metal community around
the globe. Get your tix, grab some popcorn and get ready to bang your head!"
Declares Slayer's Kerry King, "I can't believe someone didn't make this happen 15
years ago! The fans finally get what they want. I think it's awesome!"
Says Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, "The magnitude of this event hasn't really sunk in
yet, and I am thrilled to know that people around the planet will be able to walk
into a movie theater and experience the greatest line up of Heavy Metal in the
history of the world!"
