It was a record-setting performance for Metallica on Saturday night in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, reports Global News. SaskTel Centre said 16,874 fans turned out for the concert, smashing the facility’s all-time attendance record of 15,806.
A strong 18-song set was highlighted by the hit "Nothing Else Matters", which Metallica dedicated to the Humboldt Broncos, the junior ice hockey team that were involved in a bus crash on April 6th. 16 people were killed and 13 injured when a semi-trailer truck struck a coach bus near Armley, Saskatchewan.
Metallica also made a $10,000 donation to the Saskatoon Food Bank through their All Within My Hands Foundation.
