Metallica will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their ‘S&M’ album with a special show where they will reunite with San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.

“Please join us for this one-night-only show as we celebrate the addition of what is sure to become a cultural landmark in the Bay Area,” the band shared in a statement. “We’re thrilled to be invited to be a part of it and humbled to be sharing the stage with the legendary MTT and the city’s finest musicians in the San Francisco Symphony.”

S&M was released in 2009 and was composed by Michael Kamen. The record features the smash hit ‘No Leaf Clover’ and achieved 5x platinum status. Kamen composed the album as a tribute to the late Metallica bassist Cliff Burton who died in the 1986 tour bus accident. Burton had a loved of classical music and this love inspired the recruitment of San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.
