Metallica’s entire performance at the weekend’s Global Citizen festival in New York is available to watch now.
The thrash icons performed five songs at the event in Central Park on September 24 (Saturday), with their set streamed live around the world. Their performance can now be viewed below.
The festival was set up in 2012, with free tickets allocated to people dedicated to fighting world poverty through their actions, such as signing petitions.
Metallica played For Whom The Bell Tolls, Master Of Puppets, One, Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman at the event, where Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Demi Lovato and Major Lazer also appeared.
Metallica are gearing up to launch their 10th album Hardwired… To Self-Destruct on November 18. They previously released the track Hardwired and announced a run of Latin American dates which kick off in Puerto Rico on October 26.
A deluxe edition of Harwired… To Self-Destruct was recently announced featuring bonus tracks including 2014’s Lords Of Summer.

Metallica said: “If you can get to New York City from wherever you are this Tuesday evening and you’re a Fifth Member, check it out now. Hope to see you there.”
Today, Monday, Metallica will play a career-spanning set live on Howard Stern’s radio show.
Meanwhile, Metallica have also announced that they’ll help open the new Royal Arena in Copehagen, Denmark, with two performances on February 3 and 5 of next year.
