I'd rather have Burton over Mustaine, just because Burton would probably be better fit for everything Metallica did. Also, with his knowledge of classical music and everything else, harmonies and arrangements and bass lines would give more space and color to music in general. I always kinda thought that if Mustaine never left Metallica, their music would be much more technical, since Mustaine is much more technically oriented musician and composer, at least with guitar. Not saying it's good or bad, just a thought.

It wasn't a metal festival but there was metal music, back in 2005 I went for the first time to Exit festival in Novi Sad, Serbia. I saw Slayer at the main stage, that was kinda the first time I watched a big metal band on a big festival stage. If I don't count smaller metal festivals in my country, I think the first proper metal festival was Metaldays in Tolmin, Slovenia back in 2014. I went as a music journalist, watched a lot of stuff I don't even listen that much but it was cool, Children of Bodom, Grave, Prong, Satyricon, Volbeat, Megadeth, Amorphis etc.
