Festival season is in full swing in Europe as rock fans gather to celebrate live music.

Metallica’s European Summer Vacation tour made a festival stop of its own at Rock In Rio in Lisbon, Portugal on May 25.

The tour sees the metal icons performing their 1991 self-titled (“Black”) album in its entirety for the first time, and the band offers it up with a twist: they perform the songs in reverse order so they can end the regular set with “Enter Sandman.”

Metallica are now sharing some footage from the Lisbon festival, including video of the pre-show meet and greet, tuning room and the performance of “Don’t Tread On Me” from the concert.

Metallica play the Rock Am Ring festival in Nurburgring, Germany this Saturday, and the band will stream the show live at OrionMusicAndMore.com.

Tune in on Saturday around 9PM local time - which is 3PM EST, 2PM CST and Noon PST.
