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.

In what seems like a long, overdue day, Metallica has announced they will be holding a concert in Blacksburg in 2025.

Get ready to shake Blacksburg to the ground. The legends of heavy metal Metallica are taking over Virginia Tech’s Lane Stadium in May 2025. Scheduled for May 7, 2025, the announcement is part of group M72 World Tour.
