Last week, Metallica launched their new “Metallica Mondays” full-concert streaming series to help keep homebound fans entertained during the social-distancing protocol of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. “Need to take a break from Netflix before you binge-watch the entire library?” the band said in a joint statement at the time. “Introducing our brand new concert series: #MetallicaMondays, debuting tonight on our YouTube channel and on Facebook!”
The first show group livestreamed was their 2019 performance at Slane Castle in Ireland. The latest — which premiered last night, March 30th — is the thrash OGs’ two-and-a-half-hour show at Paris’ AccorHotels Arena on September 8th 2017. Watch the pro-shot video, and see the full set list, below.
Like pretty much every other band in the world, Metallica have had to switch up their plans in the wake of the spread of COVID-19. The quartet recently confirmed that their South American tour with Greta Van Fleet, originally set for April, has been bumped to December. Meanwhile, in North America, their scheduled headlining appearances at the Epicenter, Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple festivals are all off due to the cancellation of the three spring events. In better news, the metal icons have been re-added to Kentucky’s Louder Than Life fest, which has now been extended for another day — September 17th — on which Metallica will serve as the headliners.
