Metallica have announced a series of events in New York City this week following their appearance at the 2016 Global Citizen Festival concert in Central Park on Saturday.

The band are promoting the November 18 release of their new album, “Hardwired…To Self Destruct.”

“We’ve been invited back to chat with our great friend and always loyal Metallica supporter Howard Stern this Monday, September 26th and he’s even asked us play a few songs live!,” says the band. “Tune into The Howard Stern Show on Howard Stern’s exclusive SiriusXM channel Howard 100 and if you don’t have a SiriusXM subscription, the great team there has set it up so that you can still check out the show at siriusxm.com/howardfreetrial.

“Later that day, we’ll record a special edition of SiriusXM’s Town Hall series answering questions from a select group listeners in the SiriusXM studios in New York City. The Town Hall special, hosted by music journalist, SiriusXM host and another long time great friend to the band, David Fricke, will air on the Mandatory Metallica channel, which makes a return on Wednesday, November 16th, two days before Hardwired… hits the streets.”

After performing a five-song set of classics at the Global Citizen event, Metallica immediately announced plans for another special fan event.

“We just walked off the stage at the Global Citizen show in New York’s Central Park and we had such a blast that we’re going to keep the good vibes rolling by adding another show to our New York run!,” the group revealed. “This Tuesday, September 27th, we’ll be playing a special show for our Fifth Members only at the intimate Webster Hall and if you’re a member you have a chance to pick up tickets and join us.

"If you can get to New York City from wherever you are this Tuesday evening, check it out now. Hope to see you there!”
