metallica

Still not seen them yet. I can take or leave their music but I'm pretty excited to see if they live up to their reputation as a great live act.

They're really very good. Not sure I'd describe them as a great live act, but definitely worth seeing if you don't hate them on record.

So 2003, 2008, 2015 - a 5 year gap, a 7 year gap ....

Metallica to headline in 2024!

Lars said similar in the radio interview.

But what about 97? That kinda ruins it doesn't it? Dreadful pompous band.

You are actually wrong, by that system they'll headline 2020 (2015 +5), and then 2027 (2020 +7).

Just saying

[theramm]

Happy with this, will get a Leeds day ticket. Wonder who’ll sub them?

goddamit will

5 year gap, 7 year gap, 9 year gap. that's the 'pattern' they were alluding to

There's too many Wills here

[Gucci Piggy]

Headlining the Saturday indie day and not metal Friday or metal Sunday.

[metallimuse]

Will get a day ticket for Metallica without a doubt.

True that WessexBoy.

Sorry though didn't really understand the concept of 5 then 7 then 9.

Yeah, i'll definitely give them a watch if I go

[Superunknown]

Saw them at Glasto and really enjoyed them, should be watching them again unless someone even better clashes with them.

I find it incredible that people that haven't seen metallica live still exist.

It's Reading, so it's a bunch of teenagers going to the their first fest who have never seen a band before.

Are teenagers bothered about Metallica?

Once you tell them there is a Metallica app and they their stage show is shiney the kids will love them almost as much a when you dangle your keys in front of them.

Metallica are a name so any teenager who likes rock/alternative music would want to see them even if it is just the odd song they know.

As days go by the more and more I'm delighted by this. I was excited to watch their Glastonbury set last year and thought they were excellent. I couldn't wait for their Download set, but an abundance of alcohol and poor decisions meant I missed them almost entirely. This certainly makes up for it.

I hope they don't have a new album out before it, and I share the same opinion that they're here too much. But I don't really care. I'm excited for them.

If Refused are on another night then that's me got 2 headliners already. Looking to see the rest of the lineup before I make up my mind on buying a ticket.

[ToffeePopcorn]

Never seen Metallica, could be good but can easily be drawn to another stage

I'd imagine the new album will be primed and ready to be released by then much the same as last time they played just before Death Magnetic. Will be the start of their festival cycle to promote it.Download will be the year after then a stadium show the year after to finish the tour.
