Metallica to Stream Helping Hands Concert on YouTube

Metallica's 2024 Helping Hands benefit concert is set for December 13 at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, featuring an acoustic performance by the band along with artists like Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani, and SistaStrings. Although the concert won't be live-streamed, it will premiere on YouTube on December 19 at 3 p.m. ET. The event supports Metallica's All Within My Hands charity foundation, which focuses on workforce education, hunger relief, and disaster assistance. A related auction is currently live, offering over 80 items, including memorabilia and unique experiences, with proceeds benefiting the foundation's initiatives. The previous concert raised approximately $3 million for charity, highlighting the event's significance. Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, this year's concert promises another night of music and philanthropy.
