How To Stream Metallica's Helping Hands Benefit Concert

Metallica has announced its upcoming Helping Hands benefit concert will stream live via Paramount+, Pluto TV, and YouTube. The band also named Jimmy Kimmel as the host of the event, which will kick off with an opening set by Greta Van Fleet.

Set to take place on December 16th at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, CA, the benefit concert and charity auction is intended to raise funds to support workforce education, the fight against hunger, and other critical local services.

Metallica shared the following statement:

We’re looking forward to celebrating the achievements of All Within My Hands in our final show of the year, the Helping Hands Concert & Auction at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Friday, December 16. This will be the third time we hit the stage to benefit the Foundation, but the very first time that it will be streamed live with a full audience in the house, thanks to our friends at Paramount+.

In another first, we’re also honored to announce that Jimmy Kimmel will be joining us to host the show! Make sure to tune in early as it all kicks off at 5:30 PM PST streaming live on Paramount+ and simulcast on Pluto and MTV’s YouTube channel. Don’t miss the special guests and presentations, Greta Van Fleet’s set, and a few surprises before we hit the stage.

We’ll also have some amazing items and experiences that will be auctioned off starting December 5 to benefit the Foundation, with 100% of ticket and auction proceeds going directly to those in need. Established in 2017, All Within My Hands works with partners around the world to combat food insecurity, provide funds in areas of natural disaster, and support education with the ground-breaking Metallica Scholars program, now in its fourth year.

Tickets for Metallica’s Helping Hands Benefit are still available via the Microsoft Theater website. Tune in to the livestream from home at 5:30 p.m. PT.
