Metallica Announce US Encore Drive-In Nights Concert

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 and will be the first Rock band to be featured in the Encore Drive-In Nights series, with a full set showing August 29th 2020 at hundreds of drive-in and outdoor theaters across United States and Canada.

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.

Pre-sale tickets, available exclusively to Metallica’s Fifth Member fan club, will go on sale on August 12th 2020 at ticketmaster.com/encore-metallica. General on-sale will begin on August 14th 2020. Every ticket purchase — which admits one carload of up to six people — will 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.

The Metallica show is part of the Encore Drive-In Nights Series, which is presented by leading event production company Encore Live. Since June, Encore Live has partnered with drive-in theaters across the country to provide world-class entertainment in a safe, creative way and will adhere to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended guidelines as well as all state and local health mandates.
