LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Metallica will headline the Louder than Life Festival next year.
The announcement on the festival website says the legendary rockers will play both Friday and Sunday night. It promises different sets each night.
Metallica is a big draw in Louisville, having sold out the KFC Yum! Center and set an attendance record. Their March 9, 2019 concert had 23,084 fans at the show. That crowd surpassed the previous record at the venue set by George Strait in 2014.
