Metallica kicked off night one of their two-night takeover at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on June 20, 2025—and it was nothing short of massive.
From the opening riffs of Creeping Death to the crushing finale of Master of Puppets, the Bay Area legends proved once again why they’re still the kings of heavy metal. No repeat songs, a monster stage setup, and a crowd that brought the energy from start to finish. If you missed it… we’re sorry. But hey, there’s always night two.
