Metallica Concert Caused Seismic Activity Similar to an Earthquake

Metallica can really rock it. So much, in fact, that the iconic rock band's latest concert at Virginia Tech registered seismic activity equivalent to a small earthquake.

"Metallica saved Enter Sandman for the final song of the night. It did not disappoint, shaking Lane Stadium so hard it registered on the Virginia Tech Seismological Observatory’s helicorder. Nothing compares to experiencing it live, but this multi-camera video shared by the band comes pretty close," Virginia Tech's website reported on May 8, 2025.
