Fort Worth: The Four Horsemen (A Tribute to Metallica) at Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall

The Four Horsemen, a touring tribute to Metallica, brings its recreation of the thrash-metal giant’s catalog to Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall in the Fort Worth Stockyards on Friday, September 11. Tickets start at $34.

Metallica’s catalog — “Master of Puppets,” “Enter Sandman,” “One,” and “Nothing Else Matters” among the best-known — helped define thrash metal in the 1980s before the band’s 1991 “Black Album” pushed them into mainstream rock’s biggest tier, where they’ve remained one of the largest touring acts in music for over three decades. Tribute acts like The Four Horsemen exist because Metallica’s own tours sell out stadiums and arenas almost instantly, leaving club-sized rooms like Tannahill’s as the only place to hear the songs performed live at an intimate scale.

Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall opened in the Fort Worth Stockyards in October 2022, the creation of chef Tim Love, a longtime official chef of Austin City Limits Music Festival, who named the room after his son. The 1,000-capacity Music Hall occupies Mule Alley, a row of century-old horse-and-mule barns renovated as part of the Stockyards’ historic redevelopment, and keeps an open, barn-like footprint with two bars flanking the general-admission floor and a pizza window for late-night eats. Read more on its Texas Music Map venue page. The room sits blocks from the rest of the Stockyards’ Western entertainment corridor, and showtimes vary by night, so check the calendar before heading out.

Expect a set built around Metallica’s most durable arena staples, played at a volume and up-close intensity no arena show can quite replicate — a Friday night built for headbanging in a general-admission room rather than a stadium seat.

Doors typically open a couple hours ahead of the 9 PM set time, with Tannahill’s usual Stockyards parking nearby.
