Metallica Joining SF Symphony for ‘S&M2’ Show
Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony will be joining forces again for a performance in honor of the 20th anniversary of the 1999 S&M (“Symphony & Metallica”) concerts.
Taking place Friday, September 6, S&M2 will take place at the new Chase Center in San Francisco and act as the venue’s grand opening. The Chase Center will be the new home of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors.
“This is beyond exciting on so many fronts,” said Lars Ulrich, who was on hand for the show’s press conference announcement today along with James Hetfield. “The fact that San Francisco is finally getting a much needed world-class arena, the fact that Metallica get to be part of the opening celebration, the fact that we get to revisit S&M 20 years later, and the fact that we get to share the stage not only with the San Francisco Symphony once again, but with the legend himself, MTT [conductor Michael Tilson Thomas], as he kicks off his final year as music director here in San Francisco. This is mind-blowingly awesome… bring it on ASAP!!!”
Video of the press conference can be viewed below.
