Metallica to livestream their two 40th anniversary concerts for free
Watch them live in San Francisco next week
Last updated 9th Dec 2021
Metallica have partnered with The Coda Collection and Amazon to livestream their two homecoming 40th anniversary concerts in San Francisco next week for free.
Just over two years on from their S&M2 concerts at the same venue, the heavy metal titans play the San Francisco Chase Center on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th December 2021.
Metallica will be delving deep into their distinguished back catalogue and they will perform completely different setlists each night.
Tickets were only available for Metallica’s official Fifth Member fanclub and, unsurprisingly, they completely sold out within minutes of going on sale.
The good news is that Metallica have now announced that all their fans around the globe will be able to watch the concerts live and for FREE as they happen.
“We’re looking forward to hitting the stage in San Francisco at Chase Center with so many of our friends visiting from around the globe those two nights next week,” Metallica said.
“While we wish each and every one of you could join us, we know you can’t all be in the house. So we’re incredibly excited to announce that our friends at Amazon will be streaming both shows live, as they happen, worldwide and for free!”
The concerts will be able to watch live from home or on mobile via Amazon Music, Amazon Music’s Twitch channel, and Prime Video (with or without Prime on-demand viewing Membership).
UK Metallica fans will need to set their alarms early for the live streams, however, as they start at 5am on Saturday 18th December and Sunday 19th December.
Following the live broadcasts, the shows will then be made available exclusively at The Coda Collection/Prime Video Channel for subsequent viewing in 2022.

Metallica play a series of summer 2022 shows at festivals across Europe, however, there are currently no UK shows in the itinerary.
