Metallica are dialing things down to celebrate something big. The legendary thrash metal titans and Rock & Roll Hall of Famers have announced a special intimate performance in Amagansett, NY — right next to the Stephen Talkhouse — set to take place on August 28th.

The show coincides with the launch of Maximum Metallica, the band’s brand-new, year-round music channel on SiriusXM, which officially debuts the following day, August 29th at 12 PM ET on Channel 42.

In a statement shared by the band, they said:
