Here we go, folks! The heaviest and loudest awards show on Planet Earth – the Metal Hammer Golden Gods! As Metal Hammer magazine celebrates its 30th birthday this year, we’re taking over the famed Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith to celebrate the best of rock and metal. Throughout the night we’ve got performances from Amon Amarth, Halestorm, and Gojira – plus a very special salute to Lemmy from Phil Campbell, Mikkey Dee and Saxon.
