Well it’s official: thrash’s “Big Four”–Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax–will converge on Indio’s Empire Polo Club field in a few months. Presented by Goldenvoice at Coachella’s stomping grounds on Saturday, April 23, the one-day-only gig will feature full sets from each band at the low, low price of $99, or $199 if you want to hang in the VIP with Danny DeVito and Kat Von D.
One other important detail, according to the event’s press release: “the Big Four will feature same day shuttle service from various Southern California locations. Two shuttles will depart from Carson, downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, Ontario, Riverside, Anaheim, Irvine and San Diego (exact locations TBA in the coming weeks) in the early and mid-afternoon. Shuttle prices range from $40.00-$65.00 round-trip (depending on distance to the Empire Polo Club) and each shuttle location and the Empire Polo Club will feature on-site staff to assist with travel to and from the show.” Which means you can get wasted before departing SoCal and enjoy a safe ride alongside frat boys and a bunch of burnouts from the Heavy Metal Parking Lot era.
