Lamb of God fans in South Carolina were left puzzled in mid‑December when they discovered that a concert they thought was by their favorite heavy metal band turned out to be something very different. Online ticket marketplace StubHub had mistakenly advertised Behold The Lamb of God — a Christian holiday concert by Andrew Peterson — as a performance by the Richmond‑based metal outfit. The erroneous listing included photos of the metal band and promoted the show as a trending event at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium on December 20, even though the venue’s own website and Ticketmaster correctly identified the Christian performance.
Once StubHub realized the mix‑up, the company issued an apology, updated the event description to clarify the error, and reached out to affected customers. StubHub has pledged to honor its FanProtect Guarantee by offering full refunds to anyone who bought tickets under the misunderstanding. The incident resulted in some metal fans showing up to what they thought was a Lamb of God show only to find themselves at a spiritually focused concert centered around the Advent and birth of Jesus. Lamb of God’s vocalist Randy Blythe even responded with good‑humored commentary on social media about the mix‑up.
While the metal band was not actually performing there, the situation led to wider attention because Lamb of God is set for a North American tour in spring 2026. The episode underlines how automated ticket listings and shared event names can sometimes lead to amusing — and confusing — results for fans and promoters alike.
