METALLICA performed in a front of a capacity crowd of 100,000 on July 16 at this year's edition of Quebec's Summer Festival (Festival d't de Qubec). The event ran July 7-17 in Qubec City, Qubec, Canada, with an amazing 300 shows spanning 11 days, making it Canada's biggest outdoor artistic festival.

"When I was a kid, this was my dream," METALLICA frontman James Hetfield told the crowd toward the end of the concert, according to Spinner.
