MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Metallica will headline the first rock concert at the new U.S. Bank Stadium late this summer.

Metallica – along with Avenged Sevenfold and Volbeat – will play on Saturday, Aug. 20 as part of the opening weekend festivities.

"We had such an amazing time playing in our hometown stadium the night before the Super Bowl that when asked we couldn't say 'no' to another chance to be part of a very special weekend," Metallica's Lars Ulrich said.

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 25 at 10 a.m. Tickets will be available on Ticketmaster, by phone at 1-800-745-3000 and all Ticketmaster Outlets.
