About a week ago, we found out that Metallica plans on a theatrical release of the forthcoming S&M2… now we have all the details and a trailer (see above).
The synopsis reads:
On October 9, 2019, Trafalgar Releasing presents S&M2, a must-see celebration of the 20th anniversary of Metallica’s groundbreaking S&M concerts and album recorded with the San Francisco Symphony. See them once again perform with the Symphony as legendary conductor Michael Tilson Thomas leads a portion of the show, kicking off his final season in San Francisco. Recorded live on September 6th and 8th, the shows also commemorate the opening of the state-of-the-art Chase Center, a historic addition to the city’s waterfront.
Including several tracks from the original ’99 S&M release as well as symphonic versions of new songs released since then, this theatrical release gives millions of fans around the world the chance to eclipse time and experience the show as a modern-day big screen concert.
According to Billboard,
S&M2 is the sequel to the band’s 1999 album and concert film S&M, and will be filmed at Chase Center in San Francisco this September. The film will feature the first live arrangements of S&M songs in 20 years, as well as songs written and released since the original show.
The Marcus Valley Grand is the closest showing in our area with 2 dates planned… October 9th and 13th. Find out more at metallica.film.
