By all accounts, (despite issues with twelve mile traffic tailbacks, parking and entrance to the sold out festival site), the Metal legends delivered a sensational live performance to the staggering one hundred thousand punters who basked in the glorious sunshine enjoying the likes of Halestorm and Alterbridge, who were tasked to loosing up the massive crowd.
With reports of Metallica’s performance being heard up to fifteen miles from the festival site, James, Kirk, Lars and Rob unleashed a two hour set of bangers from dusk to just before 11pm, utilising their ‘72 Seasons‘ stage production which consists of six enormous PA towers fitted with state of the art high-definition digital screens.
