Metallica just turned a small Hamptons stage into a night fans won’t soon forget.
On Thursday, August 28, the legendary rock band performed an exclusive show in Amagansett, New York, celebrating the launch of SiriusXM’s brand-new year-round channel, Maximum Metallica.
The band traded their usual stadium roar for a cozy club setting, yet the setlist was as iconic as ever. Metallica ripped through fan favorites including “Master of Puppets” and “Enter Sandman,” but the standout moment came when the group surprised the crowd by honoring the late Ozzy Osbourne with a fiery rendition of his classic anthem, “Crazy Train.”
Metallica previously honored the late rocker by sharing a tribute on Instagram the same day as Osbourne’s death. The band shared a throwback photo with Osbourne with a simple red heart emoji as the caption.
The star-studded audience on Thursday included a slew of famous faces: Howard and Beth Stern, Paul and Nancy McCartney, Andy Cohen, Colin Jost, Heidi Gardner, Michael J. Fox, Ed Burns, Chris Jericho, Maria Menounos,Sylvester Stallone, and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith were all spotted in the crowd. Metallica has been filling arenas worldwide on their massive M72 World Tour, but the Hamptons show marked one of the most intimate venues the band has played in decades.

Osbourne sadly died at the age of 76 on July 22, 2025. The Black Sabbath frontman’s family—wife Sharon Osbourne, and children Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis—released a statement announcing the news, which read, “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.”
Since his death, Ozzy has been remembered by multiple musicians and received tons of tributes. Most recently, Yungblud (real name Dominic Harrison) performed a cover of Ozzy’s “Changes,” at one of his shows, with Jack watching from the audience. The TV personality posted about the night on Instagram, thanking Yungblug for “keeping the legacy alive.”
