Metallica is on the list of legendary performers that have been invited to perform at the 25th Anniversary celebration of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The show will be held October 29th and 30th at Madison Square Garden. Proceeds from the concerts will go towards creating a permanent endowment for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation and Museum. Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, and Bruce Springsteen are also on the bill. (See the complete lineup below.)

The two shows will be produced by Joel Gallen, director and producer behind the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies and the MTV Movie Awards from '96 to '95, and a four-hour highlight show will be edited for broadcast on HBO in mid-November.

Tickets will go on sale to the public on August 3 at 9:00 a.m., and American Express Cardmembers will be able to purchase advanced tickets starting July 27.
