Metallica is heading to Blacksburg for a full concert at Lane Stadium

Metallica is one of the greatest bands of all time. And now, they’re headed to Blacksburg.

Since the year 2000, the Virginia Tech Hokies have been using Metallica’s hit “Enter Sandman” as the team’s entrance song as Lane Stadium rocks. It’s not only one of the best entrances in college football, but all of sports.

Now, Metallica will stop in Blacksburg on May 7, 2025, as a part of its M72 World Tour.
