'Big Four' Screening In Illinois Turns Rowdy

June 24, 2010

According to Tri-Cities Blotter, police was called to a theater in Batavia, Illinois this past Tuesday (June 22) after a screening of the "Big Four" concert turned rowdy.

Batavia Police responded to a disturbance at about 11:30 p.m. at Randall 15, 550 N. Randall Road, where a Sofia, Bulgaria concert by METALLICA, MEGADETH, SLAYER and ANTHRAX — the so-called "Big Four" of 1980s thrash metal — was being broadcast.

Police said the screening was out of control and damage had been done to theatre property. All the subjects had been ordered to leave, but were given refunds by the theatre.

Police remained on the scene until the situation was under control.

The concert will be rebroadcast in movie theatres on Thursday (June 24).

The "Big Four" package has been making its way across Europe since June 16, but so far no U.S. dates have been announced. The shows represent the first time the four bands have all shared the same stage.
