Metallica to hold “All Within My Hands” charity concert in December – Music News


Metallica have announced details of their “All Within My Hands” charity concert and auction.

The heavy metal giants' foundation will hold a fundraiser on December 13th with the Helping Hands Concert & Auction and YouTube Theater in Los Angeles.

Late-night talk show legend Jimmy Kimmel will host the show.

Tickets go on sale Friday (July 26, 2024) at 10 a.m. PDT.

The charity, which supports “workforce education, fighting hunger, and other important community services,” has raised a massive $15 million for various nonprofit organizations to date.

The Metallica Scholars Initiative is also expanding.

Metallica brought St. Vincent to perform at a concert last year, along with Greta Van Fleet.

Among the organizations that benefited from the funds raised were Baby2Baby, First Star, Feeding America, World Central Kitchen, mikeroweWorks Foundation and The Skatepark Project.

The band's star-studded 2021 covers album, The Metallica Blacklist, grossed a staggering $1 million (£824,430).

Metallica and collaborators, including Miley Cyrus, Phoebe Bridgers and Chris Stapleton, have chosen non-profit organizations to which the donations will be sent.

Metallica's All Within My Hands Foundation donated $100,000 to victims of the devastating California wildfires in 2018.

The “Nothing Else Matters” rock band consisting of James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Rob Trujillo and Kirk Hammett formed All Within My Hands.
