Sonisphere UK, 2009. My first Metallica show, opened #onthisday in 2009!. This was the first time in a long time that I'd been to a metal festival. Pleased to discover there was very little between the campsite and arena - where I could feast my ears on metal, old and nu. Soil. Alien Ant Farm. Skindred. Coheed and Cambria (a special treat packed into a small tent during a downpour). Linkin Park. Lamb of God. Machine Head. Mastodon. Avenged Sevenfold. Metallica. Plus Blaas of Glory, a marching band in the crowd doing a memorable rendition of Europe's Final Countdown. #sonisphere2009 #metallica #linkinpark #gigdiary #metalfestival (at Knebworth Events) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgsU7h8jcZJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
