A symphonic tribute to Metallica comes to Gelsenkirchen on Thursday, 18 February 2027 at 19:00 in the Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, a neo-Gothic church from the early twentieth century with distinctive architecture and an impressive interior. This is one of nine German dates on the tour. An orchestra performs the band's greatest hits in new orchestral arrangements, giving classic songs a fresh dimension. The church's acoustic properties create a unique setting for this kind of interpretation.
