Metallica performs For Whom The Bell Tolls at Glastonbury Festival 2014

Venue: Worthy Farm Location: Pilton, England, United Kingdom Date: June 28, 2014

In 2014, Metallica was riding high after the massive success of their 2008 album, *Death Magnetic*. Prior to their electrifying performance of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" at Glastonbury, they had also released the critically acclaimed *Hardwired... to Self-Destruct* in late 2016, which marked a significant return to form for the band. Interestingly, this particular concert was a milestone, as it made Metallica the first heavy metal band to headline the iconic Glastonbury Festival. Fans were treated not only to the crushing riffs and pulse-pounding beats Metallica is known for, but also to the raw energy that comes from performing at such a storied event. The performance showcased the band's enduring power and ability to connect with diverse audiences. It was a moment that beautifully encapsulated their legacy while also spotlighting their evolving musical journey.
