A diary of my trip to Spain to see Metallica on the M72 World Tour in July, 2024.
It was a long wait, but it was finally time to get back on the road to see the Metallica M72 World Tour in a new city. This time, it was Madrid. I had never been to Spain before, and there was no better excuse to go than to see two Metallica shows.
Things have been hectic for me since the Phoenix stop on the M72 Tour in 2023. I found out prior to the trip that I had busted up my rotator cuff in my dominant arm and that it would not heal without elective surgery. I was told the recovery would be difficult and that I would have no or limited use of my arm for a while.
I had to put off the operation until after the Phoenix trip, but it needed to be soon thereafter so I would be ready to rock for the Madrid trip in 2024. I had them cut me up in October and started physical therapy a few weeks later. That plan worked out very nicely. I was semi-functional a few months later, and I graduated from therapy a week before the Madrid trip.
While I was dealing with the injury, I got started on a construction project at my house because I like making things complicated and difficult for myself. My entire backyard needed to be replaced and I wanted to get it done for 2024. Everything went relatively smoothly with the project, but dealing with the contractor and making design decisions was very time intensive.
Between the shoulder rehab, the backyard project, and holding down a full-time job, I had a lot on my mind. Therefore, I did not do as much planning for the Madrid trip as I had done for Paris, Montreal, and Phoenix last year. But my number one travel companion on the tour, Susan, took care of the basic outline of the trip for us. We were going to forego the motorcycle rental this time, and instead spend a few days getting crazy in Ibiza after the Metallica shows were done in Madrid. I was happy with that plan and showed up in Madrid fired up and ready to watch The Greatest Band of All Time from the Snake Pit!
Metallica wrapped up the North American leg of the 2023 tour in Detroit in November and did a one-off show in Saudi Arabia in December. They resumed the 2024 tour in May in Munich for two nights. They played 16 songs each night as they had done on all the other dates in 2023. At the next show in Milan, they only played 15 songs. Each night after that, they stuck to the new 15 song format. The reasons are not publicly known why the shows got shorter, but I guess shrinkflation in this economy is to blame.
I was a bit bummed that I would get to see two fewer songs than I had expected in Madrid, and I had done no research or real planning for the trip. But Susan and I got on the redeye from Newark on July 10, and we landed in Madrid the next day on time.
July 11, 2024
Things were off to a good start; the first leg of travel got us to Madrid without issue. But the red-eye and the jetlag hit me hard, and I started the trip exhausted.
We hopped a cab from the airport, and I noticed right away that the terrain indicated we were going to be in a warmer climate. There was also a lot of graffiti on the highway. I noticed the same thing when we got to Paris, I guess it is a European thing.
We made it to Hotel Francisco I and Susan had to stop to do some work. She was under an unfortunately timed work deadline for most of the vacation, so she had to do a few hours of work every day. I went for a walk nearby to keep busy until she was done.
I was not sure what I was looking at, but realized right away that I was in an historic section of town. It was a neighborhood that was clearly much older than anywhere I have been in America. My phone told me that I was in a town square called Plaza Mayor.
I was hungry so I sat down and ordered my favorite Spanish delicacy, Jamón Ibérico.
Susan told me she was ready to go so we met up and walked around the area together. We were in an interesting neighborhood that was a seemingly endless maze of old buildings with cool shops and restaurants. We would enjoy walking around town for the rest of our stay.
We headed out to our first planned destination, Museo Nacional del Prado. Prado is an historic art museum in Madrid known for its European art. It features 48 pieces by Diego Velázquez.
I got yelled at for trying to take pictures (there did not appear to be a sign saying it was not allowed). I thought that the collections were interesting, especially given how old some of them were. The overwhelming majority of them were inspired by religion.
We went to dinner at Vi Cool and finished the night with drinks at a bar in the basement of Caluana. The food was underwhelming at the restaurant, and the neighborhood seemed to close early. That was fine with me, I was wiped out by then and wanted to get to bed to get into the time zone.
July 12, 2024
Today was going to be a big day! Susan had to work in the morning, so I walked to the Metallica pop-up store. I only bought four T-shirts this time. I returned to the hotel, and we walked to Plaza Mayor for lunch. We ordered paella for the first time on the trip.
We walked to Real Jardín Botánico (a botanical garden) and went inside for a visit. I think we were there a little late in the season because not much was in bloom. I was jealous of their vegetable garden; they are better at growing tomatoes than I am. They had some good-looking grape vines and fig trees, too.
Everything we did that day was nice, but it was time for the big event. We hopped on the Metro, asked for directions, and headed towards Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano for the first of two Metallica concerts of the weekend!
The first order of business was for me to figure out how to pick up our Snake Pit passes. The instructions I got in Spanish were not very helpful even after I translated them to English. But after walking back and forth and asking for help outside the stadium, I found the window that had our magic wristbands, and we went inside.
We descended the stairs from the first level and headed to the Snake Pit entrance. I dreamed about that moment ever since I bought the tickets in November 2022. We flashed our wristbands, and they waved us in.
I didn’t know what to do with myself once I got inside. This was going to be much different than jockeying for position at a regular general admission concert. Instead of just trying to get as close to the stage as possible, we were going to be literally surrounded by Metallica inside a donut-shaped stage. I noticed that one of the lower portions of the stage to my left was not terribly crowded and we walked up to it.
The Architects had just started playing when we walked in. They are a boring and uninspiring band and trudged their way through a desultory set. At least we were able to conserve energy for Metallica.
The wait in between sets seemed to last a lifetime. But when “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll)” blasted throughout the stadium, I was fired up! Metallica hit the stage and Lars Ulrich counted off the first song. Before he was even done, I recognized it and shouted, “Creeping Death!”. It was on!
Lars was playing drums to our right. Before I knew it, James Hetfield was singing and playing guitar right in front of us! I was so close that I could look right up his nostrils!
Robert Trujillo and Kirk Hammett crossed in front of us with regularity. We were literally surrounded by Metallica. The third song of the night was the deep cut “Cyanide” that I had not seen live in years. I could barely keep up with everything happening around me. After “King Nothing” finished they switched to the second drum kit, this time to our left.
This was the point in the show that required some decision making based on our prior M72 World Tour experience. There were always four drum kits used throughout the show, each one placed about 90 degrees apart from the other and popped up in a counterclockwise direction. The band tended to stick to the drumkit, and we wanted to be as close to them as possible.
I was a bit reticent as to what to do. Should we stick to our spot close to the stage and wait for them to wander close to us? Or should we follow the drums? Susan told me that I needed to man-up and take the risk of losing our spot so we could follow the drums. I needed that bit of encouragement.
While “Shadows Follow” was playing, we walked through the crowd and found a spot near where we thought the drum kit would pop up. The crowd let us through because they were looking in the other direction towards James and Lars.
This turned out to be a fortuitous decision. We were standing right by the inside of the wall where the third drum kit popped out. The band ripped into the instrumental “Orion”, and we were right there to watch all four of them jam! We were so close that Lars’ drums overpowered the sound from the main PA system.
The rest of the show was pure pleasure. We made the move to the fourth drum kit with four songs to go. The band blasted through “Battery”, “Fuel”, “Seek and Destroy”, and “Master of Puppets” to finish the night off. I was amazed and spent. This was one of the best Metallica experiences of my life.
July 13, 2024
I felt like I was still on a high from the amazing Metallica show from the previous night. The weather was beautiful, so I wanted to get out and play tourist for the day. Susan found a highly rated brunch spot called EatMyTrip so we stopped there for something to eat.
We went for a somewhat aimless walk to see what we could find. We wandered into the Real Basilica de San Francisco el Grande. As the name would imply, it was a big old church. It was almost a combination of an art museum and a church with hallways lined with old paintings.
We concluded that we had seen enough ancient religious art for the trip, so we moved on. Susan read about the Museo de San Isidro, so we made that our next stop. It was a cool museum, and we learned a lot about the history of Madrid.
Apparently, Madrid is an archeologically significant city and fossils found there told the story of the evolution of many species, including humans. The museum had a timeline of Madrid’s history from the neanderthals to the beginnings of society, to the current day.
There were no “good old days” in Madrid. Throughout its history, there were bloody religious conflicts, invasions by rival empires, and civil wars. I was amazed that the city was still standing after reading all about it.
We then walked to the nearby Mercado del la Cebada; a two-floor space filled with an eclectic mix of shops. The produce looked so good that I bought myself an heirloom tomato to eat later. We sampled some tapas there, too.
After all of that exploring, it was time to find a rooftop bar for a few afternoon cocktails. Instagram randomly suggested that I visit El Cielo de Chicote at the top of Hotel Montera Madrid, so off we went.
The bar had a good vibe, great views, and even better drinks. We weren’t in many tall buildings in Madrid, it was neat to see what the city looks like from on high. We stayed for a few drinks before heading back to the hotel to get gussied up for the evening.
Susan wanted to see a traditional flamenco show while we were in Spain, so she got us tickets for the Saturday show at Teatro Flamenco Madrid. We arrived at the theater just as the show was about to start.
The performers were three dancers (two female, one male), a guitar player, and two male singers. The show was a unique combination of song, percussion, and dance. The three dancers worked in tandem, and each took a solo. They were all very athletic and very expressive. The singers kept the beat by clapping and stomping their feet. The guitar player was no James Hetfield, but he did a serviceable job.
This was quite the departure from Metallica the previous night, but I thought it was a great cultural experience. It felt like there was a lot of history behind the style of flamenco, and there was a lot of effort put into the show itself.
We capped off the day with dinner at ZARA and a few drinks at a nearby bar. It felt like we checked a lot of the tourist boxes off, and I slept like a rock when we called it a night.
July 14, 2024
Since I was not going to rent a Harley for this stop on the M72 World Tour, I decided we should do a bike tour of Madrid because that’s like the next best thing. Susan is an avid bicyclist, so she was a willing participant.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and the tour moved very quickly. I would be hard pressed to remember every detail of what he told us. He explained a lot about the history of the area that we had walked through during our stay.
We rode through En Retiro Park and my biggest takeaway was the statue of the archangel that was exactly 666 meters above sea level. What a perfect landmark to see during the day before we were going to see Metallica.
He took us through town, and we made a stop at the Royal Palace of Madrid where we stopped for a few pictures and a quick history lesson of the opulence of the Spanish Monarchy.
He took us through Plaza Mayor and told us that it was a black market used by merchants to dodge taxes until the king found out what was going on. They also used it for public executions which the locals found entertaining. Things were certainly different in those days.
The bike trip wrapped up and we needed something to eat so we wen to the Mercado de San Miguel. This place was very cool, it had an array of tapas selections. We sampled a bite at several tapas stands and that was good enough for lunch.
We went back to the hotel to relax a bit before it was time to head back to the stadium for our second Metallica concert from Snake Pit. We knew the metro lines to take this time so getting there was a breeze.
The walk into the Snake Pit was another surreal experience. I still could not believe I got so lucky when buying tickets. We started off in the same spot we were in at the previous show. Five Finger Death Punch took the stage. They are the most okay opening band Metallica used on the tour. They certainly were livelier than The Architects.
The crowd looked like it was a bit thinner than it was on Friday. I attributed that to the fact that Spain was scheduled to play England in the Euro Cup finals at the same time Metallica would take the stage. I guess Metallica’s management did not take that possibility into consideration when they planned the tour in 2022.
As usual, I was impatient for Metallica to come on and I could not stand still. AC/DC hit the speakers after what seemed like forever, and I was ready to go again. The band took the stage and Lars pounded on the drums for the unmistakable intro to “Whiplash”. The crowd went berserk, and James had all of us in the palm of his hand when he started singing. The band segued quickly into “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and kept the fierce energy in the stadium at fever pitch.
We decided to use the same strategy from Friday night. One song before the third drumkit was going to emerge, we found a spot near where it was going to pop up. Just like on Friday, we got right underneath the band for their instrumental number. This time it was “The Call of Ktulu”. We stayed until halfway through “Inamorata” and got as close to the fourth drumkit as we could get.
The finish was very strong with a deep cut of “Fight Fire With Fire” and dazzling pyrotechnics during “Moth Into Flame”.
The crowd randomly started cheering during “One”. I looked at my phone to see that Spain had just scored the go-ahead goal against England in stoppage time. They were going to win the Euro Cup.
Finally, the beach balls dropped from the lighting towers and the Metallica finished the night off with “Enter Sandman”.
It was tough for me to accept that it was over. I had these Snake Pit tickets for a year and a half. They were going to be my only shows on the M72 World Tour from within the stage, so I was looking forward to Madrid the most out of any cities I visited.
But we still had plenty of vacation ahead of us. We took the cramped Metro back to our hotel so we could get up early and catch our flight to Ibiza.
July 15, 2024
We had an early flight to Ibiza. We got to the hotel lobby and asked for a cab before the sun came up. People were still celebrating the Spanish Euro Cup win in the streets. I slept through the entire flight.
We checked into our hotel and Susan overheard an American couple say that they were there to see David Guetta perform that day. She looked it up and saw that he was playing at a club called Ushuaïa, and Afrojack was one of the opening acts. I figured that since I had brought her to seven Metallica concerts in the last year, the least I could do was let her pick our next line of entertainment. Suddenly, we had a plan for the evening.
Our hotel was right on the beach, and it had a pool with a nice view. After all the rushing around in Madrid, this was a nice change of pace.
After a relaxing poolside afternoon, we got dressed for the evening and went to Ushuaïa. The openers went on at five, so we arrived early to check out the club. It was a spread-out outdoor venue with a pool in the middle. We walked around a bit, bought some insanely expensive drinks, and found a spot in front of the guardrail in time to get a good view of Afrojack.
The crowd started to get thicker by the stage, so we dipped out towards the back to get some space. David Guetta hit the stage, so we decided to walk back to our original spot. It was much harder to get there this time now that the crowd was at capacity, so we had to utilize our Metallica Snake Pit skills to force our way to a good spot.
The venue is very close to the airport at Ibiza and planes buzzed the stage all night. The crowd would cheer for each one as if they were part of the show.
I’ll hand it to these DJ’s. They put on an elaborate show. Dance music is not my cup of tea, but they incorporated plenty of pyrotechnics, on-stage dancers, and even an aerialist suspended by helium balloons into the show.
This show was a big departure from Metallica the previous evening, but we still had a lot of fun. We had a few drinks and grabbed some fast food in the area and called it a night.
July 16, 2024
Once again, we were in search of relaxation in Ibiza, so we headed south to Experimental Beach. It was a restaurant on the beach outside of town. We grabbed a few day beds and ordered some cocktails. The view was nice, but the beach was full of rocks so getting in and out of the water was an ordeal.
We stayed for lunch and through the afternoon before returning to the hotel to change for the evening. This time we went north for dinner at The Standard Ibiza. I spent a lot of time at The Standard High Line in Manhattan, so it was cool to visit one in another country.
The Standard is in a lively section of town near a port. There were a lot of restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. We walked through it before and after dinner.
We had a big day planned for the next day so we decided against an all-night clubbing trip so we could get up and go hard the next morning.
July 17, 2024
We wanted to get on the water while we were in town, so we decided to rent jet skis and go on an hour-long tour. The rental company was a short walk from our hotel, and they took us out right away.
The first two times I rented a jet ski, I struggled to control them. I assumed either I was unlucky with faulty equipment, or that I had picked up some habits from the motorcycle that made it difficult for me to operate a jet ski.
Our guide was in a boat ahead of us. He instructed us to sail in a straight line and to follow him. He took off full throttle and we followed behind him. Much to my delight, I was able to control the jet ski this time and had no issues following him. I guess it wasn’t my fault the first two times.
The ride was wild, our guide never slowed down the whole time, and the waves were very choppy. I used my newly found confidence to keep pace. It was a fast and rough ride, and I really enjoyed it. If I wasn’t going to rent a Harley on this Metallica trip, a jet ski would have to do.
We walked along the beach and found a restaurant that had day beds for rent. We passed the time there on the beach, ordering cocktails, swimming in the sea, and keeping a close eye on the bag that our passports were in.
After a beautiful day on the Mediterranean Sea, we headed to dinner in the same neighborhood as The Standard. While we waited for our table, we bought tickets for Hï Ibiza. According to multiple sources, Hï Ibiza is the best club in the world.
Hï opened at 11:30 and we arrived around that time to familiarize ourselves with the venue. There was one main room, and a few others with different DJ’s playing. We hung out in the smaller rooms at first, and then went into the main room to watch Fisher play at about 2 AM. The crowd at Hï packed the main room like a can of sardines. We barely made it inside, but we were fine standing towards the back.
Partying like we did in Ibiza was a very cool experience. Susan and I enjoy the nightlife near home in New York City and the Jersey Shore. The scene in Ibiza is next level. These people party all day and all night all over the city.
We had to call it at 4 AM and couldn’t stay until they closed at 6 AM, we had a flight to catch back to Madrid the next day.
July 18, 2024
On the flight back, Susan was seated next to some dude wearing a Red Sox jersey and a Yankees hat without a hint of irony. That was going to be my last impression of the Ibiza crowd.
We returned to Madrid completely exhausted. Susan had her mother fly in and the two of them were going to stay in Spain while I returned to New Jersey the next day.
We went to Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. This museum was much more modern than the rest we had seen in Madrid. Instead of ancient religious art, this museum had works by Picasso and Dali. My favorite was the Dali’s Face of the Great Masturbator.
When we were done at the Museum, we checked with a local tourism guide and realized that we had done eight of the top ten things to do in Madrid. All three of us were exhausted from our various travels so we settled in for one final meal in Madrid before turning in for the evening.
July 19, 2024
I headed back to the airport by myself for my flight back to New Jersey. I had plans for dinner at the Jersey Shore with friends that evening. When I was waiting on the passport control line, I saw an alert on my phone that all United flights globally were grounded. There was a problem with Windows computers all over the world because of an issue with Crowdstrike software. It caused my flight to have a four-hour delay taking off. I was going to miss dinner at the Jersey Shore!
I was completely spent at the end of this trip. Madrid was not a city I likely would have visited if it was not for Metallica. But I immersed myself in its culture, history, nightlife, and cuisine. I felt like I used every day to its fullest. Not only did I have one of the best Metallica experiences of my life from the Snake Pit (twice!) but Spain far exceeded my expectations. I am going to need to return in the not-too-distant future.
In the meantime, I had one more city to visit on the M72 World Tour. In two weeks, I was going to make the trip to Boston to see them in Foxborough, MA.
