The “Town Hall” special, hosted by music journalist and SiriusXM host David Fricke, will air on the band’s limited-run SiriusXM channel Mandatory Metallica, launching Wednesday, November 16.

Mandatory Metallica, which originally aired on SiriusXM in 2009 and again in 2013 when the band performed a private concert for SiriusXM at the Apollo Theater in New York City, will feature hits, rarities and concert recordings from throughout the band’s iconic career. The channel will air beginning Wednesday, November 16 at 5:00 p.m. ET and will air through Wednesday, November 23, via satellite on channel 40 and through the SiriusXM app on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online at siriusxm.com.
