In addition to being able to view the show via Metallica's sites, fans can also catch the performance airing on the Twitter pages of the Tipping Point and Band Together Bay Area organizations, who are also backing the show.

The acts have come together after devastating wildfires took their toll on homes and businesses located in nearby Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake and other counties in the North Bay area. Metallica stated, "We’re extremely saddened by the suffering that so many are feeling in the Bay Area, but are also inspired by the enormous outpouring of love and support from all around the country and want to jump in and help in the way we know how to – through music! With that said, we are proud to be a part of Band Together Bay Area, a benefit concert at AT&T Park in San Francisco on Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017 to assist the families impacted by the fires and show our immense appreciation to the thousands of first responders who have been working tirelessly since the fires began. Joining us will be G-Eazy, Rancid, Dave Matthews, Dead & Company and Raphael Saadiq."
