Metallica has closed this year’s Sonisphere rock festival at Knebworth Park, England, with a set chosen almost entirely by the band’s fans.

A week after they headlined Glastonbury, Metallica played for more than two hours.

They covered Thin Lizzy’s Whiskey in the Jar and ended their set with Seek and Destroy from their first album.

Lars Ulrich thanked the crowd after finishing before being driven off site in a convoy of people carriers.

“Between last weekend and this one, we always love being back on your shores and we will be back again very soon,” he said.
