In 1999, the San Francisco Symphony and Metallica made history with S&M, a series of concerts at the Berkeley Community Theatre that become a Grammy-winning live album.
On Sept. 6, the two Bay Area music giants will join forces once again for S&M2, the inaugural event at San Francisco’s new Chase Center, which will soon become the home of the Golden State Warriors. The one-off concert celebrates the live album’s 20th anniversary, with Edwin Outwater as conductor and a specially appearance from San Francisco Symphony music director Michael Tilson Thomas.
The collaboration was announced today as part of Reveal Week, the first look at the events coming to the 18,064-capacity arena.
Presale tickets for S&M2 go on sale for Metallica fan club members on March 19 at 9am, and for Chase cardholders at noon. They’ll become available to the general public on March 22 at 10am.
