Metallica is teaming up with the American Red Cross to host blood drives in several U.S. cities during their upcoming 2025 tour. The initiative is a collaboration between the band’s charitable foundation, All Within My Hands, and the Red Cross. The blood drives will take place at select tour locations across the country.
Some will be held inside the concert venues while the stage is being set up, and others will be nearby. Donors at these events will receive a limited-edition T-shirt while supplies last.

The blood collected during these drives will help trauma victims, cancer patients, individuals with sickle cell disease, and new mothers. Metallica’s tour kicks off with a show in Las Vegas at Sick New World on April 12.
The band will be joined by opening acts Pantera, Suicidal Tendencies, Ice Nine Kills, and Limp Bizkit. This collaboration highlights Metallica’s ongoing commitment to community service and philanthropy, ensuring that their 2025 tour leaves a lasting, positive impact beyond just the music.
