Billboard has reported Maroon 5 as the headlining act for the Super Bowl LIII Halftime show and it has sent fans into all kinds of outrage. As for the metal community, people are up in arms about Metallica getting snubbed yet again.

There has been much discussion in recent years why Metallica has not performed at the Super Bowl yet. There have also been efforts to try and get the NFL to invite them to perform. For example, an online petition to get them as the headlining act received over 64,000 signatures.

After learning of Maroon 5's announcement for the 2018 season's final game, metalheads took to social media to voice their outrage.
