Metallica Perform 'Enter Sandman' at Virginia Tech Stadium 25 Years After It Became School Tradition: Watch
The post Metallica Perform 'Enter Sandman' at Virginia Tech Stadium 25 Years After It Became School Tradition: Watch appeared first on Consequence. Metallica finally brought 'Enter Sandman' to Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium — 25 years after it became a school tradition as the Hokies' game-day hype intro. Since 2000, the iconic metal song has blared from the loudspeakers as the Virginia Tech football team takes the field on game days, becoming a school tradition in the process. Metallica have been well aware of the song's significance in Blacksburg, once paying tribute to legendary Va. Tech coach Frank Beamer in a video message that was played before his last game nine years ago. Get Metallica Tickets Here At last, Metallica themselves made their way to Blacksburg for a concert at Lane Stadium on Wednesday (May 7th) as part of their ongoing 'M72 Tour.' The special gig opened with an intro that simulated the football team's walkout, with a recording of 'Enter Sandman' sending the crowd into a frenzy, as captured in audience footage. From there, Metallica launched into a set-opening rendition of 'Creeping Death' before running through their typical career-spanning 'M72' setlist, which closed with an actual live performance of 'Enter Sandman,' with the crowd reaction apparently registering on the Richter scale. Even current Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry was in attendance, taking in the gig from his private suite at the stadium. Before the show, he met with the members of Metallica, presenting each with a No. 25 Hokies jersey and a No. 72 jersey, commemorating the 'M72' tour. The Metallica-Virginia Tech lore runs deep, and even took a tragic turn in 2009 when a Virginia Tech student, Morgan Dana Harrington, went missing following a Metallica concert in Charlottesville, Virginia, and was eventually found to have been murdered. Metallica offered up a $50k reward, in addition to a $100k reward from Crimestoppers, for information leading to a conviction (prime suspect Jesse L. Matthew, Jr. was later sentenced to four consecutive live sentences for the murder of Harrington and another student, Hannah Graham, who attended the University of Virginia). As for Metallica, the thrash legends' tour rolls on with a stop at the Sonic Temple fest in Columbus, Ohio, where they'll play two separate sets on Friday (May 9th) and Sunday (May 11th). Get tickets here. You can check out audience footage from the Lane Stadium show, along with the setlist, below.

Over 47,500 fans pack Metallica's record-breaking 2025 tour opener
Metallica made history over the weekend with its first concert of 2025. The veteran Bay Area hard rock act set a new attendance record at New York's JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, packing in more than 47,500 fans on Saturday, April 19. It surpasses the previous record of 47,319 attendees at the venue (formerly the Carrier Dome) set by The Who in 1982. 'Thank you, Syracuse!!! We had an amazing time kicking off this year's #M72 Tour at JMA Wireless Dome, where you set a new all-time attendance record with over 47,500 of you welcoming us for our first show,' Metallica wrote in a Facebook post Sunday. The concert was part of the band's ongoing M72 World Tour, supporting its latest album, '72 Seasons.' Since its debut in Amsterdam in April 2023, the tour has taken Metallica across the globe, with upcoming stops scheduled for Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on June 20 and 22. For the Syracuse show, Metallica used a unique circular stage setup, allowing concertgoers to surround the entire performance area. In addition to the seats around the stage, 7,500 fans filled the floor, where there was even an exclusive 'Snake Pit' zone. The 16-song setlist spanned the band's entire career, from 'Creeping Death' to 'Enter Sandman,' representing all of Metallica's studio albums, except 2003's 'St. Anger' and the 2011 collaboration with Lou Reed, 'Lulu.' The concert is estimated to have generated up to $15 million for the local economy, according to Visit Syracuse. A portion of proceeds from every ticket sold on the M72 tour benefits local charities via the band's All Within My Hands foundation.
