James Hetfield from Metallica and Evanescence Bandmates Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge

James Hetfield Metallica

Sydney turned up the volume this week as James Hetfield, frontman of the legendary heavy metal band Metallica, and Will Hunt and Troy McLawhorn from Evanescence ticked off one of the most iconic things to do in Sydney: completing a BridgeClimb on the world-famous Sydney Harbour Bridge.

In Australia as part of their tour, the musicians took a break from sound checks and stadium crowds to experience the city from 134 metres above the harbour. Swapping instruments for climb suits, they joined our team for an unforgettable journey to the Summit — proving that even rock stars can’t resist Sydney’s most iconic adventure.

As they made their way to the Summit, James, Will and Troy soaked up the unbeatable views of Sydney Harbour, the Opera House and the city skyline. Their Tour Guide brought the experience to life with stories about the Bridge’s history and engineering, creating a memorable moment where rock ’n’ roll energy met the magic of Sydney from above.

At the Summit, they captured a series of epic photos — perfect souvenirs from an experience that even global touring artists consider a must-do. For fans, it’s always exciting to see their favourite musicians enjoying local experiences, and their BridgeClimb added an extra buzz to Sydney’s live music scene this week.

We were thrilled to host James Hetfield, Will Hunt, and Troy McLawhorn at BridgeClimb Sydney. Whether you’re a rock legend or a first-time visitor, climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the best ways to see the city.
