Metallica’s “S&M 20th Anniversary Concerts” to Debut in Theaters in October


The much-anticipated Metallica “S&M²” concerts taking place September 6th and 8th will appear on movie screens at 3,000 theaters worldwide on October 9th. The concerts also serve as the grand opening of the state-of-the-art Chase Center, a historic addition to San Francisco’s waterfront. Recorded live on September 6 and September 8, “S&M²” will see Metallica joining forces once again with the San Francisco Symphony, led in part by legendary conductor Michael Tilson Thomas as he kicks off his final season. The band will perform several tracks from the original 1999 “S&M” release as well as symphonic versions of new songs released since then. Movie theaters are still being confirmed and tickets will go on sale August 7, so visit the link below to sign up for alerts, including more ticket on-sale details, and stay up to date on all the latest information about this one-night-only film event. The classical musicians and classic rockers will be the first acts to perform at the new 18,064-seat arena that will serve as home to the NBA team Golden State Warriors in the fall. Most Metallica fans took to Twitter to express their outrage after the pre-sale for the “S&M²” show ended within seconds due to bots grabbing all the available tickets. Members of Metallica’s fan club were supposed to be given the opportunity to buy tickets a few days early, but it was reported that tickets began showing up instantly at StubHub before fans had a chance to view their pre-sale opportunity. Fans reported signing in at exactly 9:00 a.m. PT and being unable to purchase a single ticket, while tickets went on sale at StubHub via resellers at prices ranging from $300 to $16,000 for one ticket. The original “S&M” concerts were conducted by the late Michael Kamen in spring of 1999 at the Berkeley Community Theatre.
