Metallica announce a new channel, a small-scale show and hint of performing at a super event
I know, the title seems a bit confusing, but trust me you’ll soon understand everything. On August 28, Metallica will perform at a small, intimate event next to the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, New York. The arena-filling band’s limited-capacity show will coincide with the premiere of their “Maximum Metallica” channel on SiriusXM on August 29. There are now competitions to win performance tickets.

Lars Ulrich, in an interview with The Howard Stern Show was also asked if the band would love to perform at Super Bowl.
Fuck yeah — of course we would. First of all, we would do it. Second of all, to do it in San Francisco would be a dream come true and would be the right fit. We haven’t been approached… Ultimately it’s not our decision.
