According to The Irish Sun, environmental group My Waste Ireland has expressed its dismay over the amount of plastic left behind by fans following Metallica’s concert Saturday night.
Here’s the statement:
“Were you at Slane last week?
“We were sent these images of the aftermath and are in shock.
“This needs to stop, a deposit refund scheme needs to be put in place at all large outdoor events. #MyWaste #MyImpact.”
Around 75,000 fans attended the show, which marked METALLICA‘s first appearance in Ireland since the band played in Belfast in 2010 and Dublin in 2009.
The legendary heavy metal act was unable to play in the country during the indoor leg of the “WorldWired” tour last year because of the size of its stage show.
According to Earth.com, Ireland has seen a 90 percent decline in plastic bag use since a tax was implemented.
