Metallica Download Festival Livestream 2021

For those about to rock, we salute you. We'll be reporting all the action at Power Trip, Goldenvoice's three-day metal festival in the desert featuring heavy-hitters Guns N' Roses and Iron Maiden on Friday, AC/DC and Judas Priest on Saturday, and culminating with Metallica and Tool on Sunday.

It's probably unfair to compare the performance of one band to another, particularly when one is as beloved as AC/DC, and is playing its first live show in more than seven years. But while Tool sounded crisp and loud, and thousands appeared to enjoy the band's set at the festival, it inevitably felt like a let down after AC/DC, and as festivalgoers were gearing up for a highly anticipated show from Metallica.

One thing most festivalgoers probably didn't expect at Power Trip, which markets itself very openly as a cashless festival, is a vendor that asks for cash. That's exactly what fans are facing when they go to purchase light-up AC/DC devil horn headbands at one of the various vendor carts scattered across the festival grounds today.

Those of us who entered Day 2 of Power Trip through the Red Path/camping area got a surprise Saturday when a group of rowdy festivalgoers decided they didn't want to wait any longer and pushed the gates open. Security nearby let it happen, seemingly because they were going to open the gates themselves a few minutes later, and because those who pushed through were hit by a wall of metal detectors and bag checkers on the other side of the gate.

Guns N' Roses put on a phenomenal show of heavy rock 'n' roll hits and treated festivalgoers to highlights of the band's career, even paying tribute to Sir Paul McCartney's 50th anniversary of the James Bond anthem "Live And Let Die." The two-hour set was full of stunning video production and lasers, but notably no pyrotechnics.

Even though the band was 40 minutes late for its headlining performance, the crowd was calm and there were no signs of the old days when the band would appear hours late or not at all. When the festival went dark and the band's strange animated psychedelic visuals appeared, the crowd was on its feet, screaming in anticipation.

OK, so festival food is famously never great, but Coachella always includes some trendy (and mouthwatering) Asian food from LA and Stagecoach always has delicious BBQ (when Guy Fieri's involved, you know it's good), so what is Power Trip going to be notable for cuisine-wise? So far, crappy grilled cheese.

Parking for those who tried to get in after 4:30 p.m. today was reportedly out-of-this-world difficult (our own photographer nearly ran out of gas in the middle of Miles Avenue because traffic controlers forced him to circle the venue so many times), which seems to be the reason why many people were seen leaving the festival after the first hour of Guns N' Roses' set.

I can't blame them for wanting to beat the traffic, and I can't help but wonder how long it's going to take me to get out after Guns N' Roses is done playing ... moral of the story: get here as early as possible tomorrow, festivalgoers.

Myers said he has created similar groups for festivals such as the Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival in Mansfield, Ohio and estimates 5,000 attendees from all around the world and demographics joined the Power Trip group during April.

Although it was crowded by the entrance, once the gates opened 18 minutes behind schedule, our first impression of the festival was that it's wonderfully spread out. Nobody's on top of each other, and even though the merch tents were Coachella-level busy less than 15 minutes into the start of the festival, the Iron Maiden-specific and Guns N' Roses-specific booths had shockingly small lines.

This is also a little nerdy of us to notice, but the famed Coachella/Stagecoach Ferris wheel (aka Le Grande Wheel) is back with new open-air cars (as opposed to the traditional enclosed cars we're used to at the other two festivals).

Power Trip, which features six heavy metal bands from Friday, Oct. 6 to Sunday, Oct. 8, is being held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Music-lovers likely know (or know of) the venue as the home to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach country music festival, which are held on the lush grounds at 81-800 51st Ave. over three weekends in April.

Boston Calling Music Festival is a 3 day, 4 stage, outdoor festival featuring the biggest and best acts in live music, DJs. With visual arts and a 100 foot ferris wheel - there's so much to explore and see at Boston Calling.

Face to Face are playing their first three albums during three Thanksgiving weekend livestreams, with special guests Jim Lindberg of Pennywise, Nate Maxwell of Flogging Molly, Spike Slawson of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Jason Cruz of Strung Out, Jason DeVore of Authority Zero and Sharpshock. Tickets go on sale 11/7 at 1 PM, ticket link TBA.

As a teaser video for Power Trip was posted on the new festival website and Instagram account earlier in the week, fans from around the world began guessing what the vague video could mean. But it was the cacti shaped into the international hand gesture for metal music, or devil horns, that seemed like a big giveaway.

Finally, Lollapalooza wraps on Sunday with livestreamed sets from Erica Banks, Zoo Wees, Habstrakt, DJO, Atliens, Beach Bunny, Gordo, the recently reunited Porno For Pyros fronted by festival founder Perry Farrell, BANKS, Denzel Curry, John Summit, and more alongside headliner j-hope of K-pop powerhouse BTS.

Hulu subscribers can tune in to Lollapalooza livestreams all weekend long at no additional cost. Hulu will regularly update the festival landing page with any schedule changes. See below for the initial set times (all times in ET).

This year, Hulu is the exclusive streaming partner for the iconic music festival, meaning you can watch the entire set for all four days from the comfort of your own home. What's more, this isn't just limited to Hulu's Live TV subscription plan. Every plan, including the streamer's most popular ad-supported subscription, gets the same access.

Livestreaming of the festival kicks off at 3 p.m. ET Thursday, July 28, with a set by Australia-based rapper Sampa the Great, and continues with big hitters like Still Woozy, Tove Lo, Jazmine Sullivan and Lil Baby until legendary, Grammy award-winning band Metallica takes the stage at 11:15 p.m.

From Friday through Sunday, the livestream will split into two channels to accommodate sets happening at the same time. You might have to make some tough decisions like watching headliner Wallows' full set at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday or tuning in for British punk rock band Idles' performance that begins at 9:30 p.m. But with channel surfing, at least you'll have more flexibility than those running between stages in Grant Park.

Lollapalooza won't be available to watch after the livestream event, so mark your calendar to catch your favorite artist. For those who don't already have Hulu, you can sign up for a free month-long trial for its ad-supported and ad-free plans.

After a three-year wait, concert-goers headed back to the Harvard Athletic Complex for Boston Calling 2022 this weekend. More than 50 artists performed at the three-day festival, including headliners Metallica and Nine Inch Nails.

Boston.com staff were on-site all weekend, providing the latest news from the festival. Below, read updates on the performances, the food, the fashion, and everything else that happened over the last three days.

The line for Metallica merchandise at around 3:20 p.m. was longer than any food line Boston.com had seen on the first two days of the festival, and the crowds at shows like Cults at 3:50 were larger than anything except for the evening sets on Day 1 and 2.

With original headliner The Strokes unable to play due to a positive COVID test and the festival scrambling after a two-hour weather delay, Trent Reznor and co. performed an almost two-hour headlining set for the second consecutive night.

With the festival on pause, some people tried to make the most of it by creating their own entertainment. One person ran a half lap around the track and field facility, while others started dancing inside the hockey rink. Meanwhile, staff members handed out free water to those sheltering inside.

By around 4 p.m., crowds were larger than they had been at 4 p.m. during the first day of the 2019 festival. Whether it was due to flexible remote work schedules, the draw of early-afternoon acts (including The Struts, Mob Rich, and Paris Texas), or a combination of both was unclear. What was clear is that fans were more than ready for the return of Boston Calling.

Even when live music did begin to pick up again, the festival faced the added difficulty of replacing all three of its original headliners, scrambling to find suitable replacements on a short timeline.

The Army is stampeding to watch Lollapalooza 2022 livestream online. That's because J-Hope of the K-pop sensation BTS is headlining the festival in Chicago's Grant Park. He is joined by fellow Lollapalooza headliners Metallica, Dua Lipa, Machine Gun Kelly, J. Cole and Green Day, as well as performers including Lil Baby, Kygo, Big Sean and Charli XCX. ff782bc1db
