The Super Bowl weekend will have its rock side even if the show at the break is reserved for The Weeknd. Green Day has just been announced as part of NFL honors ceremony on Saturday night (February 6) and now it comes to Metallica joining the post-Super Bowl broadcast The late show with Stephen Colbert on CBS.
Metallica posted online about their appearance, revealing: “We are celebrating #SuperBowl with our friend @stephenathome on Sunday! Log on to “A Late Show: Super Bowl Edition” at @ colbertlateshow at 11:35 PM EST on CBS to catch our performance. #LSSC #LateShow “
Metallica has not yet played the big game, even though petitions have been launched in the past to get them to play the break ceremony. Many thought it might happen in 2016, when San Francisco hosted the Super Bowl, but the band ended up playing the concert “The Night Before” for CBS Radio, trading the hard turf for a place outside the AT&T Park in San Francisco. .
That year, Super Bowl organizers participated in Coldplay as Super Bowl leaders, with Beyonce and Bruno Mars providing support. As it turned out, Metallica fans received a full set of 18 songs during their concert, rather than the mixed tradition of songs that break performers receive.
