Ahead of Metallica’s 2025 Australian tour, fans can check out the band playing on stage at their Metallica Presents: The Helping Hands Concert which took place early this morning (Australian time) in Los Angeles.
Metallica Presents: The Helping Hands Concert, a concert benefiting the band’s All Within My Hands foundation, was streamed to the world. Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and taking place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, the third edition of the Helping Hands Concert featured a unique performance from Metallica.
The live stream, which you can watch here on Metallica’s YouTube channel was hosted by Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave), in which Tom interviews Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo, plus Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament, Sammy Hagar, Michael Another, Joe Satriani and Kenny Aronoff, and Jason Momoa.
Metallica performed a half hour acoustic set featuring a string section, which you can see about an hour and a bit into the livestream.
Established in 2017, Metallica’s All Within My Hands foundation works with partners around the world to combat food insecurity, provide funds in areas of natural disasters and support education with the ground-breaking Metallica Scholars Initiative, now in its fourth year. More information can be found at allwithinmyhands.org.
100% of ticket sales and donation proceeds from the Helping Hands concert – and its accompanying auction of items and experiences – will go directly to those in need via All Within My Hands. The previous two Helping Hands Concerts in 2018 and 2020 helped to raise more than $3 million dollars collectively.
