Metallica and San Francisco Giants have announced the eighth annual Metallica Night for Tuesday, May 24th against the New York Mets. The band will take the field for the National Anthem, first pitch, and a few other pre-game shenanigans at Oracle Park.

Special Event Metallica packages include a ticket to the game and a limited edition Metallica/Giants T-shirt; a portion of the proceeds from every Metallica Night Special Event ticket sold will benefit All Within My Hands. Tickets will be on sale Wednesday, February 16th at 8 am PST for Giants season ticket holders and Visa cardholders with single-game tickets on sale to the public Friday, February 18th at 8 am time.

In December, the band celebrated its 40th anniversary in San Francisco. The band performed two shows at the Chase Center with a full weekend of curated live music, Blackened Whiskey tastings, and other events. Admission was only available to registered members of Metallica’s Fifth Member fan club.

The band released the 30th anniversary of The Black Album on September 10th via its own Blackened Recordings. This “definitive” reissue was remastered for ultimate sound quality and is available in several configurations to suit every music fan’s preference. Metallica also released The Metallica Blacklist that celebrates the enduring influence of Metallica with an unprecedented 53 artists spanning an unbelievably vast range of genres, generations, cultures, continents and more, each contributing a unique interpretation of their favorite Black Album cut.
