After Kamen's death in 2003, Metallica did not revisit the S&M concept in any further performances or recording work for years. However, the band announced on March 18, 2019, that they would hold a concert with the San Francisco Symphony at the [[Chase Center]] on September 6 of that year to commemorate the 20th anniversary with a single-night concert, headed by [[Michael Tilson Thomas]] as music director. They later added a second concert on September 8.

The shows included many songs from the original S&M performances, as well as renditions of songs that had been released since then. In August, it was announced that a film of the concerts would receive a limited worldwide theatrical release.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://loudwire.com/metallica-sm2-movie-theater-screening-2019/|title=Metallica's 'S&M2' Concert to Screen at 3,000 Theaters for One Night|last=DiVita|first=Joe|website=Loudwire|date=July 31, 2019 |language=en|access-date=September 18, 2019}}</ref> The concert was given a limited release and has grossed over 5.5&nbsp;million dollars.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanrolli/2019/10/17/metallica-scores-biggest-global-rock-event-cinema-release-with-sm/#56342b6b70cd|title = Metallica Smashes Global Box Office Record with 'S&M²'|website = [[Forbes]]}}</ref> In August 2020, the band released the two 20th anniversary performances as an album, video, and box set entitled ''[[S&M2]]''.<ref>{{Cite magazine|last1=Grow|first1=Kory|date=June 11, 2020|title=Metallica's Lars Ulrich Teases 'S&M2' Box Set on Kimmel|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/metallicas-lars-ulrich-sm2-box-set-1013659/|access-date=July 23, 2020|magazine=Rolling Stone|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=July 15, 2020|title=Metallica announce 'S&M2' live album and concert film release|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/metallica-sm2-trailer-new-music-2708157|access-date=July 23, 2020|website=NME Music News, Reviews, Videos, Galleries, Tickets and Blogs {{!}} NME.COM|language=en-GB}}</ref>
