Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’ Performance Registers Seismic Activity


When Metallica hit the stage at Lane Stadium on May 7, it wasn’t just another stadium show. It became a confirmed minor seismic event.

The Virginia Tech Seismological Observatory, located a mile away, detected tremors during the set and later confirmed that the crowd had, quite literally, shaken the earth. “Enter Sandman” has soundtracked Virginia Tech Hokies football team entrances for years, blasting through the stadium speakers to fire up the crowd. Guitarist Kirk Hammett, drummer Lars Ulrich, frontman James Hetfield and bassist Robert Trujillo of Metallica perform at Allegiant Stadium on February 25, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
