All The Organisations Metallica Donated To On Their Australia & New Zealand Tour

While touring across Australia and New Zealand this month, Metallica donated to numerous local organisations that help people in need through their All Within My Hands foundation. The move arrived with their previously announced partnership with the Red Cross’ Lifeblood service, smashing past donation records.

Throughout the tour, Metallica partnered with Live Nation Australia and All Within My Hands to provide financial support to two non-profit organisations in each city that feed people and provide critical local services in times of need.

Metallica just toured Australia for the first time since headlining Soundwave Festival in 2013. For the long-awaited shows, the American metal icons were joined by special guests Evanescence and Suicidal Tendencies.

Reviewing Metallica’s recent Optus Stadium show, The Music’s Sam Mead declared: “The ante is upped as all members of the band take helm at the front of the catwalk and shred the life force out of Master Of Puppets to crowd now worshipping the gods of rock as they chant ‘obey your master’ getting a gift of fireworks for their efforts and a hearty chuckle. Cue rapture of applause.”

Mead also highlighted the “lusciously expressive” visuals, “effortless” musicianship and banter, and praised the night’s support acts, Evanescence and Suicidal Tendencies.
