Exclusive Photos: Metallica Rock New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium With Avenged Sevenfold + Volbeat
On Sunday, May 14, thousands of diehard Metallica fans filled New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for one of the most highly sought after shows of the year, as Metallica are touring in support of their platinum album Hardwired...To Self-Destruct.
New Jersey was the third stop on the band's North American trek, and metalheads from all over lined up early to secure a prime spot in the massive football stadium. Also on the bill were Danish rockers Volbeat and California metallers Avenged Sevenfold. Both bands gave high energy performances for the fans, and set the tone for what was to come.
Metallica kicked off their set with "Hardwired," a heavy hitting single from the new album, and went on to work the crowd into a frenzy with their electric stage performance that included massive LED screens, a laser show, and a full range of pyro and fireworks.
