On the evening of August 25, as the iconic heavy metal band took the stage at SoFi Stadium for their #M72LA show, Storm embarked on an unexpected solo adventure that would soon capture the hearts of the Metallica family and animal lovers alike.

Dog sneaks into Metallica concert
Storm, whose home is conveniently located adjacent to SoFi Stadium, saw an opportunity for an impromptu night out and took it. Sneaking out of her yard, she found her way into the venue and, amazingly, into a seat where she sat attentively, eyes glued to the stage as Metallica rocked the night away. The band, known for their electrifying performances and dedicated fan base, had never had a furry fan quite like Storm before.
Metallica’s social media team was quick to share the heartwarming story, posting a photo of Storm enjoying the concert from her stadium seat. They quipped about her enjoying “her favorite songs, including ‘Barx Æterna,’ ‘Master of Puppies,’ and ‘The Mailman That Never Comes,'” adding a playful canine twist to some of their most famous tracks.
Safe and Sound
The story has a happy ending, with Storm being safely reunited with her family the following day. After spending a full night among the Metallica family, she was taken to a nearby shelter by Animal Services, where she was later claimed by her owner, Arizabeth Hurtado. The Animal Hope & Wellness Foundation in L.A. confirmed that Storm was well cared for and loved, much to the relief of everyone involved.
A Husky’s Adventure
Arizabeth Hurtado shared her amusement and surprise at her husky’s adventurous spirit with PetHelpful, stating, “We learned something new about her… she is apparently a huge Metallica fan who decided to sneak out for the concert!” The proximity of their home to the concert venue in Inglewood, California, made Storm’s escapade all the more feasible but no less astonishing. “We were laughing so hard when we saw she was SITTING IN AN ACTUAL SEAT AT THE CONCERT,” Hurtado added.

A Word of Caution
While Storm’s adventure had a joyful conclusion, Metallica took the opportunity to remind fans that pets should not be brought to concerts, noting that only service animals are permitted on the property. Storm’s ability to sneak past security and find an empty seat remains a mystery, but her story serves as a whimsical reminder of the unexpected ways in which music can bring beings together, regardless of species.
Conclusion
Metallica’s 11th studio album, “72 Seasons,” is the reason behind their current world tour, which experienced a slight hiccup when guitarist James Hetfield tested positive for COVID, leading to the postponement of a show. Nonetheless, the tour is set to continue until September 29, 2024, concluding in Mexico City, with fans—and perhaps even a dog or two—eagerly awaiting their next performance.
Storm’s night out at the Metallica concert is a testament to the unexpected adventures that life can offer and the universal language of music. As she returned home safe and sound, her story remains a delightful anecdote for the Metallica family and a legendary tale of a dog’s love for heavy metal.
