Metallica has announced S&M²: THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT
Metallica are joining the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra for the grand opening of the new Chase Center. Having sold 125 million albums worldwide, Metallica will raise the roof at the Chase Center with the help of Michael Tilson Thomas, who will be seeing in his final season as orchestra conductor. This special one-off performance is to be held on the 6th of September 2019. Metallica and the San Franscico Symphony previously worked together in 1999 for the production of the live album S&M, and now they will recreate that moment in this special 20th anniversary show.
You can read the band’s official statement below:
“Check this out, you know how much we love firsts and we are always extremely proud to wave the flag for our hometown of San Francisco, so this first is particularly exciting as we announce that we will be performing at the grand opening celebration of the Chase Center with S&M² on Friday, September 6th. That’s right, not only will this be the inaugural event at the new arena in the city, but we will be playing once again with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra as we join together to commemorate this historic addition to the Bay Area and mark the 20th anniversary of the S&M concerts and album release.
We’re honored that legendary conductor Michael Tilson Thomas will kick off his final season as San Francisco Symphony Musical Director with a special appearance conducting a portion of the show. James and Lars joined Michael, along with representatives from the Golden State Warriors and San Francisco mayor London Breed, to make the announcement at the Chase Center today.”
