Mainly there to see Metallica, they were treated to incredible sets from artists like Rage Against The Machine, Sevendust, Dave Matthews Band, Jamiroquai, Jewel, Foo Fighters and many more.

The lack of toilets, the heat, overpriced water, getting 2nd degree burns and even leaving a bit early before things were literally on fire!'
