METALLICA's 'The Night Before' Concert To Be Made Available As A Free Live Webstream

METALLICA‘s February 6 headlining performance at CBS Radio‘s “The Night Before”, a one-of-a-kind concert experience, the evening prior to Super Bowl 50, at AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, will be available as a live webstream at webcast.livemetallica.com.

The webcast will be a free 1080p full-HD stream, available on mobile and desktop devices. The band says: “We’re set to hit the stage at approximately 8:30 p.m. PST, so spend Super Bowl Eve with us no matter where you are that night!

“We are beyond excited to be a part of the historic festivities in San Francisco this week and can’t wait to see you out there!”

METALLICA will be joined at the event by CAGE THE ELEPHANT, who will also perform.

METALLICA has played at AT&T Park the last three years by hosting the annual “Metallica Night” at San Francisco Giants games. Last year, the band expanded that tradition, bringing “Metallica Night” into the South Bay for a San Jose Sharks hockey game.

During an appearance on the Alice @ 97.3 radio station, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich stated about the upcoming event: “We’ve only played AT&T one time before, which… we played with THE ROLLING STONES about ten years ago. So we’ve actually never headlined the baseball park. And we do, obviously, our cool thing with the Giants there… We have the ‘Metallica Night’ there with the Giants three or four years in a row, and I saw AC/DC there about a month ago, and, obviously, I’ve seen THE STONES there a bunch and I saw Jay-Z and Beyonce there last year. And we are so excited to… We’ve played, obviously, a lot of shows at Candlestick [Park] over the years, a lot of shows at Oakland Stadium. Actually, I was thinking about it the other day — we even played some shows at the soccer stadium in San Jose. But we’ve never played the baseball park until now. So there you go.”

METALLICA has been working on a new album, but there is no word if any new music will be aired at the performance.

Lead guitarist Kirk Hammett confirmed last November that the band was in the process of recording new material, saying, “At this point, we’re still just doing basic backing tracks. James [Hetfield, guitar/vocals] is doing his guitar stuff, and I am just kind of waiting patiently to go in there and do all of my guitar stuff.”

The last METALLICA album, “Death Magnetic”, came out in 2008.
