Jason Momoa got his mosh on during Metallica’s Friday (August 25th) and Sunday (August 27th) shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The Aquaman star was captured on video going elbow to elbow with other headbangers on both nights.
In addition to hanging out with support act Pantera backstage alongside other celebs like John Travolta and Tommy Lee on Friday night, Momoa also pogo-ed up and down in the audience during Pantera’s set.
Then, on Sunday, as posted on TMZ (watch below), Momoa joined the circle pit during Metallica’s set, with his hulking figure standing out among the large crowd.
On his own Instagram (also below), Momoa shared the story of how he had wanted to bring his friend Travis Snyder, who is battling leukemia, to the Metallica shows. Unfortunately, Travis had a medical emergency leading up to the concerts, and wasn’t able to make it, so Momoa introduced him to Metallica members James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo over his iPhone.
Metallica commented on Momoa’s post, writing, “Always a pleasure to have you join us.”
Momoa is a true metalhead, attending many concerts and often discussing his love of heavy music. In 2018, he cited Tool and Metallica as inspiration for his lead role in Aquaman, and in 2020, he got some one-on-one bass lessons from Primus’ Les Claypool.
