Soundwave Festival boss AJ Maddah has revealed that Metallica will be using their famed “Snakepit” set up on the festival tour next month, which strongly suggests that the band will be playing their 1991 self-titled record – “The Black Album” – in full.
In a series of tweets Maddah conformed that there won’t be a D at the main stage this year and that Soundwave will be using combination of Snakepit, T and Static barriers at the festival’s stages.
The presence of the Snakepit all but confirms that Metallica will be playing The Black Album as they resurrected the pit for their 20th anniversary “Black Album” shows in Europe last year. Hyping the tour, the band’s official website told fans, “For those of you who were with us almost 20 years ago for the summer of ’92-’93 tours, you might recall that diamond shaped pit extending from the middle of the stage, well it’s baccccckkkk for our little summer vacation! … What would a tour of the Black Album
Anyone seen a Snake Pit before? And how do you get in it?

If we don't have practice on Fridays before games, I should be fine. I don't want to just be skipping two weeks in a row. But yeah, I've been wanting to see them so hopefully I'll be able to
