Metallica to play $6 shows for 30th anniversary
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 29 July 2011
To celebrate their 30th year as a band, Metallica have announced that they will play four fanclub-only shows at the Fillmore in San Francisco. Tickets will be knocked down to 1981 prices – meaning fans can attend one show for just $6, or all four for $19.81 (see what they did there?).
Announcing the gigs on 5, 7, 9 and 10 Dec, the band said via their website: “These unique shows will include special guests and events, rare songs, varied set lists, odds and ends, and all the nutty stuff you expect from Metallica… fun for the entire family! Come to the Bay Area and spend the week with us to not only close out 2011 with a bang, but to celebrate over three decades worth of craziness”.
The band actually played their first show in Anaheim in 1982. If you were wondering.
