Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This show happened during a UK heatwave; the band later called it 'the hottest gig we've ever played.' Hetfield's black sleeveless was a choice.
The 'ManUNkind' nod to Manchester United came days after the club's Europa League final loss—either brilliant local touch or awkward timing depending on your football allegiance.
