Record Store Day 2016

METALLICA has been named the AMBASSADOR for RECORD STORE DAY 2016, which will take place SATURDAY, APRIL 16th around the U.S. and the world.

The band is contributing a special live CD for the occasion, "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, Metallica! -- Live at LE BATACLAN PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 11th, 2003, a live concert recording from the theater that became the focus of the world in NOVEMBER 2015.

This release, and the charitable donation of its proceeds to FONDATION DE FRANCE's GIVE FOR FRANCE charity, fits into a larger theme for RECORD STORE DAY 2016 that highlights the relationship between U.S. record stores and their FRENCH counterparts, between RECORD STORE DAY and DISQUAIRE DAY, between music-and-arts-loving humans in the U.S., FRANCE and the world.
