A pair of concert attendees who attempted to ascend a production tower during Metallica’s headline performance on November 1, 2025, at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, have been subjected to a lifetime ban from the venue, as theprp reports. The individuals, identified as 20-year-old Beau William Loch Rollings and 23-year-old Rory Hugh Culbert, breached security by rushing a fence and climbing the tower, remaining on the structure for approximately 15 to 20 minutes before being subdued and detained by local authorities. According to reports, Rollings admitted to consuming alcohol prior to the incident. In addition to the lifetime ban, Rollings was fined $1,000 and ordered to pay court costs of $308.80. Culbert was reported to have received a comparable penalty for his involvement in the event.
