The second night of Metallica’s Glendale shows at State Farm stadium has been postponed.
The Sept. 3 show was canceled Saturday afternoon because lead singer James Hetfield has tested positive for COVID-19.
A statement on social media reads, “We’re very sorry to report that tomorrow’s scheduled M72 date at State Farm Stadium has been postponed to Saturday, September 9, 2023, as, unfortunately, COVID has caught up with James. We’re extremely disappointed and regret any inconvenience this has caused you; we look forward to returning to complete the M72 No Repeat Weekend in Glendale next Saturday.”
All tickets for Sunday will be honored at the Sept. 9 show. For more information, including refund details, visit the SeatGeek website.
