| Notes | 18x24 37 bands and artists performed at the festival. Bands from a wide variety of genres, ranging from thrash metal and black metal, even to punk, indie, and experimental rock, played throughout the weekend. Members of Metallica introduced some of the bands performing and Robert Trujillo even performed with his old band Suicidal Tendencies. Metallica headlined the festival on both days and performed two of their most critically acclaimed albums in their entirety: their 1984 album Ride the Lightning on the Saturday night, and their 1991 eponymous fifth release on the Sunday night. |
