Metallica have announced news that they’re teaming up with Major League Baseball’s San Francisco Giants for the first-ever Metallica Night at AT&T Park.
The band will be on hand to for the Giants’ home game versus the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, May 3; Metallica will perform the National Anthem and throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
Special event tickets for the game go on sale this Saturday morning, February 9, at 8:00 AM PST – they’ll be available here.
A special event ticket package includes a limited edition Metallica/Giants hat with a portion of the ticket sales donated to the Bill Graham Foundation, which strives to give grants in the area of music, the arts, and education, while also supporting social work, environmental protection, and spiritual and compassionate projects in the community.
** UPDATE (02/08): The game is NOT the home opener, as previously outlined. We apologize the error.
