Metallica have announced that they will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 1999 live album S&M with a very special performance. The band will be recreating their iconic 1999 live performance with the San Francisco Symphony with a one-off concert dubbed “S&M².” The performance will mark the grand opening of San Francisco’s new arena, Chase Centre.

The band announced the show via a post on Instagram. “We’re honored to take part in the Grand Opening of the @Chase_Center in San Francisco as we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of S&M!” they wrote. “Join us at what is sure to become a cultural landmark in the Bay Area for S&M²”

Check out a video of Metallica performing their classic track ‘The Outlaw Torn’ as part of the S&M tour below.
