At which Moscow airfield did Metallica play on September 28, 1991, during The Black Album era?

Metallica played at Tushino Airfield in Moscow on September 28, 1991, during The Black Album era.

The concert was part of the Monsters of Rock festival and took place shortly after the album’s August release. It became one of the most famous shows associated with Metallica’s breakthrough period because it placed the band before a huge open-air audience in the Soviet Union during a time of major political and cultural change.

Contemporary estimates commonly placed attendance between 150,000 and 500,000 people, while some unofficial reports claimed a much larger crowd. The range reflects the difficulty of counting a massive free outdoor gathering rather than disagreement about the venue.

The performance was later included in the documentary A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica. “Harvester of Sorrow” from the Moscow show is among the concert footage featured in the film.
