The setlist spanned Metallica’s remarkable four-decade career, featuring songs from their latest album 72 Seasons alongside early classics from their San Francisco days, including tracks made famous by their late bass player, Cliff Burton. Iconic anthems like Master of Puppets and Seek and Destroy were performed with such intensity that the crowd’s energy matched the band’s every move. Other highlights included Fuel and The Memory Remains , with lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo showcasing their exceptional musicianship. Fans were particularly thrilled when Trujillo’s son joined on stage to play bass with his father’s former band, Suicidal Tendencies.
Metallica’s stage setup has evolved over the years. The towering wall of amplifiers that once defined their shows has now been replaced by massive video screens, and bursts of flame added a thrilling visual element to the evening. Giant black and yellow balloons bearing the M72 World Tour logo bounced over the crowd, creating an atmosphere of pure celebration.
As the two-hour set drew to a close, Hetfield’s commanding presence was matched by the crowd’s deafening cheers. The night ended on a high note with a powerful rendition of Enter Sandman , leaving fans exhilarated and fully satisfied. It was clear that the wait of over a decade had only strengthened the bond between the band and their Australian fans.
