Following Tool’s mesmerizing performance, Metallica took the stage with their trademark energy and power. Opening with the thunderous “Battery,” the legendary thrash metal band wasted no time in igniting the crowd. James Hetfield’s raw, commanding vocals and Kirk Hammett’s blistering guitar solos were as electrifying as ever. The setlist was a crowd-pleasing mix of old and new, including classics like “Master of Puppets” and “Enter Sandman” alongside tracks from their recent albums such as “Lux Æterna” and “Too Far Gone?.”

The stage design for Metallica was equally impressive, with a massive video screen backdrop and pyrotechnics that added to the spectacle.

Lars Ulrich’s thunderous drumming and Robert Trujillo’s powerful basslines provided a solid foundation for the band’s relentless onslaught of metal.

It was such a treat to see the band live performing and definitely a great way to finish this magnificent festival.
