A 20-year-old man who scaled the central tower at Metallica’s epic Perth concert has been banned from Optus Stadium for life and fined over the dangerous antics, reports Perth Now.
Beau William Loch Rollings, from the Bunbury suburb of Carey Park, and Rory Hugh Culbert, 23, from Australind, climbed up the tower during the heavy metal band’s two-hour set on November 1.
Perth Magistrates Court was told on Tuesday that the pair had jumped over security fencing about 10:30 PM. They stayed up the tower, at a height of 10-50m, for about 20 minutes before climbing down.
Magistrate Ruth Dineen said “something that seemed funny at the time” had big consequences. Both men were charged with trespass by summons and pleaded guilty at their first hearing.
The police prosecutor said the pair gave “no explanation” for their conduct. Their mobiles, containing footage of the incident, were seized.
