Everyone now knows to be true what everyone then thought was an April Fool’s joke. Metallica is headlining F1 Rocks in Gurgaon on October 28, and Rock In India (details) in Bangalore on October 30.We also wrote about the other parties (that included Lady Gaga) that will take place over the race weekend. Apart from Arjun Rampal’s club LAP setting up a tent to host a bunch of parties, there’s a bunch of other acts who are set to play across several venues over the highly anticipated weekend.
October 28 & 29 @ Amber Lounge
This special venue will make its presence felt at the Indian Grand Prix, previously having been restricted to only the Monaco, Abu Dhabi and Singapore. The Amber Lounge will play host to celebrations that will include Bollywood stars (yes, Imran Khan of ‘Bhaag DK Bose‘ fame is slated to be here as well) and F1 drivers, and millionaires by the dozen. Artists slated to play the venue are
DJ Aqeel
DJ Jack.E
October 28-30 @ Lap, Greater Noida
A Times of India report claims
All the drivers will park themselves in luxury suites overlooking the golf course at the Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort, close to the track. The suites will have all the essential uber luxury touches that an F1 driver needs. But if you thought that a peaceful time is what awaits them, then think again
Artists slated to play at the venue are
Roger Sanchez
Edward Maya
Tom Novy (for other variations)
Lady Gaga
