Metallica and the San Francisco Giants are teaming up for a sixth Metallica Night April 23.

Members of the band will play the national anthem and throw the first pitch of the game at the AT&T Park before the team's game against the San Diego Padres.

“On April 23, 2018 we'll take a quick break from the European tour to head back to the Bay Area and celebrate one of our favorite hometown traditions, Metallica Night at AT&T Park with the San Francisco Giants,” the band shared on their website.

The special event ticket package includes a ticket to the game and a limited edition Metallica/Giants baseball cap.

VIP tickets are also being offered, and they include an exclusive pre-game event in Triples Alley to celebrate the reissue of The $5.98 EP – Garage Days Re-Revisited. Drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist Kirk Hammett will chat with writer Steffan Chirazi about Metallica's early days as a garage band in the Bay Area.
