YouTube Metallica did not expect to be spending time in New Orleans in late October, but the band shook off any rust that might have accumulated in the last couple of months to deliver a blistering set Saturday night (Oct. 27) for the Voodoo Arts + Music Experience. The band, who signed on only after Green Day had to bow out of headliners, had a couple of weeks to prepare, and they delivered an 18-song set that did not disappoint. The group opened the show with the older favorites ‘Hit the Lights’ and ‘Master of Puppets,’ and also rocked through their standards of ‘Welcome Home (Sanitarium),’ ‘Fade to Black,’ ‘One,’ ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls,’ and ‘Enter Sandman.’ ‘Creeping Death,’ ‘Battery,’ and set closer ‘Seek and Destroy’ wrapped up a powerful performance. The set was one of few that fans will see in the coming months. The band has concluded their ‘Death Magnetic’ touring, and has been focusing their time on a 3D film before spending considerable studio time working on their next album. However, the group has announced several festival shows for 2013. For those who didn’t catch Saturday’s stream of the full performance , check out pro-shot video of the first three tracks from the set — ‘Hit the Lights,’ ‘Master of Puppets,’ and ‘Holier Than Thou’ — below.

October 27th, 2012 Metalkult Kevin Winter, Getty Images New Orleans is the place to be this weekend for the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, but even if you’re not anywhere near Louisiana, you can still catch Metallica and more this evening with the Voodoo Festival webstream (which you can watch below). Actual streaming footage from the festival begins today courtesy of Ustream at 1PM ET/10AM PT. Today’s lineup includes such acts as Silversun Pickups , AWOLNATION, Justice, and The Features among others. Metallica’s performance is set for 9:30PM ET/6:30PM PT. Fans can also catch highlights from the Voodoo festival on Fuse TV throughout the day. Metallica were a last minute addition to the Voodoo festival lineup, as original Saturday headliners Green Day bowed out after singer Billie Joe Armstrong ‘s recent admittance to rehab. Guitarist Kirk Hammett stated , “I’m very honored that we’re able to help our friends in Green Day. I wish Billie Joe the best of luck, we’ll do anything to help them out. It’s great to be able to help him out.” Of the event itself, Hammett gushed, “New Orleans during Halloween, I’m really excited about that. I love New Orleans, I love the voodoo folklore, I love the vampire folklore. It should be pretty interesting.” While the band have curtailed their touring for the time being, Voodoo gives the group the perfect showcase in advance of their ‘ Quebec Magnetic ‘ DVD, which is slated for a Dec. 10 release. Lars Ulrich stated earlier this year that he thought it would be 2014 before fans would see a new record, which means studio time will likely take up a good portion of next year. However, Metallica do have plans to headline the Rock in Rio festival and take part in Australia’s Soundwave traveling tour next year. But for now, be sure to check out Metallica and other acts playing today’s Voodoo Arts + Music Experience in the live stream below.
