As the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship continues its Northeast run, an added music attraction will be on display for fans to experience in FanFest this weekend. The New Jersey based Metal Hall of Fame will present the Metal Across America Tour as part of FanFest this Saturday, April 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
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 Dimebag Darrell (Pantera); Blacktooth Whiskey; Ellefson Coffee (David Ellefson, former Megadeth); Rocavaka Vodka, 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.”
