Metallica: Helping Hands Benefit Concert Returns
Metallica has unveiled plans for their 2024 Helping Hands benefit concert and auction, with Jimmy Kimmel as the host. Scheduled for 13th December, at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, the event aims to support the band’s ‘All Within My Hands’ Foundation. This foundation focuses on workforce education, combating hunger, disaster relief, and more.
In 2022, the band’s previous Helping Hands concert raised $3 million for the foundation, featuring appearances from celebrities like Robert Downey Jr., Tony Hawk, St. Vincent, and Greta Van Fleet.
“We’re psyched to announce we’re adding one more show to the calendar this year,” the band wrote in an Instagram post. “Our @allwithinmyhandsfoundation’s Helping Hands Concert & Auction returns to Los Angeles.”
All proceeds from ticket sales and the auction will be donated to the ‘All Within My Hands’ Foundation, which has raised over $15 million since its inception in 2017. This includes $8 million in grants for technical education programs and nearly $4 million to address food insecurity.
In other news, Metallica’s self-titled album, commonly known as ‘The Black Album,’ has surpassed 750 weeks on the Billboard 200 charts. The album features five singles: ‘Enter Sandman,’ ‘The Unforgiven,’ ‘Nothing Else Matters,’ ‘Wherever I May Roam,’ and ‘Sad But True.’
