Metallica is proud to announce their fifth annual “Metallica Night” with the San Francisco Giants. The heavy metal icons will be taking over AT&T Park on Monday, August 7th, when the Giants take on the Chicago Cubs, and they will be taking part in special activities all night long. Just like in previous years, James and Kirk will play the National Anthem, Lars will throw out the first pitch, and who knows what else they have planned for the rest of the game. You’ll have to be there to to see it!

Here’s the official statement from Metallica.com: “In what has become one of our favorite hometown traditions, we’re excited to announce that the San Francisco Giants have once again invited us to celebrate a night on the field with them. The annual event will take place on Monday, August 7, 2017 against the World Champs, the Chicago Cubs and yes, you saw that headline right – this year marks number five! As has become custom, the night will kick off with the National Anthem and first pitch, then we’ll be on hand all night to cheer on the orange and black as we take part of some of the between innings festivities.
