Consequence: Boston Calling 2022 Recap: Overcoming a Curse of Storms and Cancellations
Maybe it was the fact that Nine Inch Nails had headlined both Friday and Saturday, or it probably had something to do with the weather evacuation on Day 2, but Sunday was far and away the most crowded day of the entire weekend. Why the other days weren’t as packed is up for discussion; why the final day was the fullest is obvious: Metallica.
41 years into their legendary career, Metallica are one of the easiest sure-things in music. Book these guys as a bill topper, and you’re ensured not only a sold out crowd, but a hell of a show. Obviously, heavy metal isn’t everyone’s taste, and not everyone whose taste it is makes for the best co-crowd member; work around the bad apples and find a way to appreciate what James Hetfield and the boys are actually bringing to the table, however, and you’ll see why they’re some of the greatest headliners around.
