Metallica played the band’s smallest concert in nearly a decade at an intimate club in the Northeast.
The metal icons performed for roughly 500 fans on a makeshift stage at the 250-capacity Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, New York on Thursday night, Aug. 28.
Rolling Stone reported that Metallica has not played a venue that small either since 2016 or when the band performed in a dome in Antartica in 2013.
The show was to celebrate the launch of Metallica’s year-long SiriusXM channel called “Maximum Metallica.” The 24-hour program is available now on the SiriusXM app and in all SiriusXM-equipped vehicles.
Metallica’s setlist included fan favorites such as “Master Of Puppets,” “Enter Sandman” and “Fade To Black,” Blabbermouth reported. In the middle of the show, Metallica honored the late Ozzy Osbourne with a performance of “Crazy Train.”
“Metallica Live At Stephen Talkhouse” will premiere on SiriusXM on Sept. 1. The one-of-a-kind performance will also rebroadcast on “Maximum Metallica” throughout the week. Additionally, the full concert will air on Howard Stern‘s SiriusXM channel “Howard 101″ on Friday, Sept. 5.
Metallica was formed in 1981 by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich. Along with guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo, Metallica has become one of the most influential and successful rock bands in history with nearly 125 million albums worldwide.
Metallica’s multi-platinum studio albums include “Kill ‘Em All,” “Ride The Lightning,” “Master Of Puppets” “…And Justice For All,“ “Metallica” (commonly referred to as The Black Album), “Load,” “Reload,” “St. Anger,” “Death Magnetic,” “Hardwired… To Self-Destruct” and “72 Seasons.”
The Los Angeles-based band has received dozens of accolades including nine Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, multiple MTV Video Music Awards and a 2009 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
