As the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship returns to racing this week after the final bye week of the season, an added music attraction will be on display for fans in FanFest at the upcoming rounds in Foxborough and Philadelphia. The Metal Hall of Fame will present the Metal Across America Tour as part of FanFest this Saturday, April 13 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA and then again on Saturday, April 27 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA.

The Metal Across America Tour transports onlookers back 50 years to the birth of Supercross in 1974, through the eyes of the Metal Hall of Fame. The experience provides viewers with a rare opportunity to see; original album cover artwork from legendary bands, one of a kind exhibits from Iron Maiden, Ronnie James Dio, Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Deep Purple, and Yngwie Malmsteen, among other numerous iconic bands, a Meet & Greet with Metal Hall of Fame Founder/celebrated drummer Pat Gesualdo, the State of the Art Metal Hall of Fame Tour Bus, never seen before photos of major rock stars from the Annual Metal Hall of Fame Celebrity Gala, and more! The Metal Hall of Fame sponsored by Metallica Blackened Whiskey, also hosts the Annual Metal Hall of Fame Gala.

“We are excited to have the Metal Across America tour be a featured part of the Supercross FanFest Experience,” says Metal Hall of Fame President/CEO Pat Gesualdo. “Both organizations share much of the same fan base. Therefore, we are bringing a lot of the rare memorabilia so fans around the country can see it in person firsthand.”

Earlier this season, Supercross athletes Aaron Plessinger, Josh Hill, Talon Hawkins, Robbie Wageman, and Cade Clason all made special appearances on the Red Carpet at the Metal Hall of Fame Celebrity Gala held at the Delta Marriot Garden Grove in Anaheim, California. Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Mick Mars (Motley Crue), Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot) and others were inducted into the Metal Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 Class.

Inductee Cavazo, and his brother Tony of the rock band Hurricane joined Green Day’s Tre Cool, Jason Bonham of the Jason Bonham Experience, and solo artist Jagger Henry (Bonham), and others at the Monster Energy Supercross event being held a few days later at Angel Stadium of Anaheim in Anaheim, California.
