Metallica has confirmed its return to the stage for the first time since the September 2019 S&M2 concerts that opened Chase Center in San Francisco.
Metallica will be the first rock band to be featured in the Encore Drive-In Nights series, with a full set showing August 29 at hundreds of drive-in and outdoor theatres across the United States and Canada.
TICKETS ON SALE AUGUST 14
Tickets go on sale August 14 at ticketmaster.com/encore-metallica. Unlike traditional concert tickets bought for individual admission, each Encore Drive-In Nights ticket will admit one passenger car, truck or SUV with up to six family members or friends (as many as there are legal seatbelts) for one low price. Every ticket purchase will also include four digital downloads of Metallica’s S&M2, the long awaited album documenting the two historic concerts that reunited the band and San Francisco Symphony for the first time in 20 years.

WILL DELIVER A FRONT-ROW LOOK AT ICONIC RECORDING ARTISTS
The show will be shot specially for the Encore Drive-In Nights Series at a location near the band’s Northern California headquarters and will subsequently be edited and mixed by Metallica’s award winning production team to the highest standards possible. The concert, the band’s first show in nearly a year, will feature material from throughout their near four-decade career and provide Metallica fans with an intimate, unique and truly memorable concert experience. The event will also include a special guest performance by Three Days Grace.
DRIVE-IN THEATRES TO ADHERE TO CDC RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES
Drive-in theaters hosting the concert will adhere to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended guidelines as well as all state and local health mandates. Staff will wear personal protective equipment and enforce at least six feet of space between cars. The series will also use contactless payment and ticketing systems and limit capacity in restrooms. Guidelines around concessions will be enforced to abide by individual state regulations.
