On Friday, December 13, Metallica, along with host Jimmy Kimmel, will welcome a still-to-be-announced lineup of special guests to the YouTube Theater stage in L.A. as they try to reach or top the $3 million raised in 2022 in direct support of workforce education, disaster relief, and food insecurity.

“We’re psyched to announce we’re adding one more show to the calendar this year,” the band said on their social accounts revealing the details. “Our @allwithinmyhandsfoundation’s Helping Hands Concert & Auction returns to Los Angeles... We have an exciting night planned for you with some amazing items and experiences up for auction.”

Tickets for this year’s concert will be available beginning Friday, July 26, at 10AM PT, with 100 percent of proceeds and auction item sales benefiting Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation, formed in 2017. Travel packages can also be purchased via the band’s website.

Since its inception, the AWMH organization has raised over $15 million, including almost $4 million in the fight against hunger, and $8 million in grants supporting technical education programs.
