Metallica saves the performances at Tomorrowland festival

Author Benedetta Baldin - 19.7.2025

The show must go on, and if you’ve ever been a festival attendee, you would give anything to have your favorite artists performing in front of you instead of going back home without any entertainment. So, when a fire destroyed the main stage at Tomorrowland, many probably thought the fun was gone for good. But as it happened, the festival was saved by the lavish stage production for thrash metal giants Metallica‘s recently finished European tour, which was in storage in Austria. After the required equipment was airlifted in, the festival was able to set up a makeshift main stage and proceeded according to schedule. The power of collaboration! One of the festival’s main acts, Martin Garrix, publicly acknowledged Metallica for contributing to the festival’s revival.

All that matters is that people are safe and have the time of their lives at the festival!
