(Classic Rock) The boss of the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands found himself under fire this week after allowing Metallica to perform their headline set despite severe weather warnings.

The show was held up for an hour while a heavy thunderstorm passed overhead on Monday � but despite pressure to cancel the rest of the event, Jan Smeets allowed James Hetfield and co to play as planned.

The 70,000-strong audience were advised to stay away from sound and lighting masts, but to remain calm. No injuries were reported, but festival staff issued foil blankets to ward off cold as a precaution. more on this story
