The record previously belonged to U2, who drew a crowd of just over 90,000 to Olympiastadion in 2009.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually, the venue\u2019s maximum capacity for gigs is around 72,000. This was increased to 76,000 for the DFB Cup final on May 29 and then to the record-breaking number a day later. This was done by using a central stage area, thus leaving no seat empty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tickets cost up to \u20ac2,450 for the \u201cSnake Pit\u201d right in front of the stage. At the show, the heavy metal legends played tracks from their entire discography, as well as covering Rammstein\u2019s \u201cSonne\u201d. It was their 7th time in Germany to date.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coincidentally, Metallica\u2019s record-breaking show happened on the same day that rapper Ye (Kanye West) broke the world record for biggest stadium concert in history, drawing 118,000 spectators to Istanbul\u2019s Atat\u00fcrk Stadium. Ye\u2019s performances have previously been banned in countries such as Italy, Poland and the UK due to his history of antisemitic remarks and open endorsement of Nazism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"IMAGO \/ Berlinfoto Saturday evening saw Germany\u2019s biggest ever stadium concert at Berlin\u2019s Olympiastadion: Metallica played there in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97110,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[99],"tags":[112,50310,190,2733,5389,6183,28973],"class_list":["post-97109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-berlin","tag-berlin","tag-concerts-live-music","tag-germany","tag-gigs","tag-metal","tag-olympiastadion","tag-records"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116676833509780825","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97109\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
