Metallica have announced that they’ll return to AT&T Park later this year for their sixth annual Metallica Night at the home of baseball’s San Francisco Giants.
The band will be on-hand on April 23 before and during the Giants game against the Washington Nationals – throwing out the first pitch, performing the national anthem and taking part in Metallica-themed entertainment between innings.
There will also be a limited edition Metallica/Giants baseball cap available to purchase, with part of the proceeds going straight to the band’s All Within My Hands Foundation.
Metallica add: “There will also be a VIP event that night in Triples Alley as we celebrate the reissue of The $5.98 EP - Garage Days Re-Revisited by going back in time with Lars and Kirk as they chat with Steffan Chirazi about their early Bay Area days as… you guessed it, a garage band!
“Once again, All Within My Hands will benefit from ticket sales to this exclusive event.”
Tickets for the game go on general sale from 5pm PST on Friday (February 9) from the Giants website.
