METALLICA has donated more than 1.5 million euros (approximately $1.65 million) to various local charities during the band’s just-completed summer 2019 European leg of the “WorldWired” tour. The donations were made over the course of 25 shows through the band’s non-profit foundation All Within My Hands, which was established in 2017 as a means to invest in the people and places that have supported the band.

METALLICA’s final summer 2019 contribution came on August 25 in the form of a 63,000-euro check to Freezone Mannheim, an organization offering low-threshold youth welfare services in Mannheim to children, adolescents and young adults living entirely or partially on the streets.
