Metallica will perform as part of this year’s Global Citizen Festival in New York City on September 24th. And you’ll be able to catch the performance live online.

Says organizers: “While we wish everyone could come to the 2016 Global Citizen Festival, we want everyone to see the incredible impact Global Citizens have made to enact policy change from leaders around the world. So this year, we’re bringing you a livestream of the show along with a behind-the-scenes commentary and backstage access with our live blog.

“You’ll be able to watch everything from our headliners Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Demi Lovato, Major Lazer, and Metallica to our hosts, and more from anywhere.

“You can watch the full show on TV on MSNBC Saturday starting at 3 PM, EDT, including exclusive backstage moments. Not near a TV? Don’t worry we’ve got you covered. On Facebook, you’ll be able to watch Citibanks’s Global Citizen Facebook Livestream to catch more behind-the-scenes moments.

You can watch the livestream of the show starting at 3 PM, capturing every last impactful moment on our YouTube channel or right here on this page, which will become our live blog.”

Metallica recently announced that their long-awaited new album - Hardwired…To Self-Destruct - which will be released on November 18th - is finally done! A message from the band can be found below.

Says Metallica: “Guess what?!? It’s DONE! We have put the finishing touches on our next album Hardwired…To Self-Destruct and are looking forward to the next phase of unleashing it to the world, waking the monster that is Metallica and hitting the road. As we were in the 11th hour of wrapping it up it dawned on us that we have never shared with you in any sort of cohesive “official” manner the extensive covers we have worked on since Death Magnetic. While digging into the bonus options to compliment the 12-song album with additional material, we realized that none of our versions of these songs from some of our favorite and most respected artists have been readily available on our very own Blackened Recordings. So with that said, we’re here to tell you about some changes we’ve made to the deluxe versions of Hardwired... in place of the previously announced Riff Origins.

“The 2016 version of ‘Lords of Summer’ from the studio in its full glory as originally promised is still included, but now we’ve added the ‘Ronnie Rising Medley’, originally only available only on the Ronnie James Dio – This Is Your Life tribute album, along with the Iron Maiden cover of ‘Remember Tomorrow’ rounded out by Deep Purple’s ‘When A Blind Man Cries’. And by the way all of these tracks have been recently remastered for optimum 2016 sound quality. Just for fun (and because there was room!) the special set we did at Rasputin’s in Berkeley, CA on Record Store Day 2016 to celebrate the reissues of Kill ‘Em All and Ride The Lightning is here all re-mixed and mastered.

“Lastly we had such an amazing time being a part of the first weekend of events ever held at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis last month. It was an honor and a thrill to test out “Hardwired” live there and we just had to commemorate the debut by including the recording from that night here."
