Metallica

Principality Stadium, Cardiff

Support act: Gojira

Metallica performing on a stage at the centre of the stadium. The photo is blurry because the stage is at quite a distance from where I am photographing.

Seeing Metallica live has been a bucketlist item for as long as I can remember. They were every bit as good as I hoped they would be. It was such an energetic show, especially after Gojira’s blistering opening set, but it also had sentimental moments, like the performance of Nothing Else Matters. After 3 rock shows back to back, I couldn’t feel my legs, my ears probably had permanent damage, and a neckbrace seemed like a good idea. It was all worth it.
