The one-night-only screening is set for Aug. 29 at hundreds of drive-ins across the U.S. and Canada. Showtimes vary by location.

Tickets are $115 plus fees per vehicle for up to six people and will go on sale Friday at noon local time for each venue.


The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will grace the screen and shred speakers at Digital Drive-In AZ in Mesa, the Drive-In at Schnepf Farms in Queen Creek, West Wind Glendale Drive-In and WestWorld of Scottsdale.

Metal fans in the Tucson, Prescott, and Yuma areas also have screening options.
