Metallica

As of September 24, 2016, when Metallica performed at the Global Citizen Music Festival in Central Park, the band was riding high on the momentum from their critically acclaimed album, *Hardwired... to Self-Destruct*, which would drop just two months later in November. This show was part of their efforts to leverage their fame for social good, as the festival aimed to tackle global issues, including poverty. It's interesting to note that Metallica has always championed humanitarian causes, and this performance showcased their commitment to using their platform for positive change. Playing a mix of classics and new material at such a significant event highlighted their ability to connect with both long-time fans and new supporters alike. Plus, Central Park’s iconic setting added a special, almost ethereal vibe to the evening, making it one of those unforgettable moments in their long and storied career.
