Metallica have issued the following update in regards to their Helping Hands Concert & Auction, taking place in Los Angeles on December 13:

"Helping Hands 2024 is just one short week away. We’re psyched to announce that our friends Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani, and Kenny Aronoff will take the stage in support of All Within My Hands this year! Also lending their incredible talent to the event is SistaStrings, the sisters turned classically-trained duo named 2023’s “best instrumentalist” by the Americana Music Association!

"If you’re coming to the show, you won’t want to miss a minute, so don’t be late. The show starts at 6 PM, PT SHARP. See you next Friday at YouTube Theater."

Metallica adds: "AWMH’s latest sweepstakes with our friends at Fandiem will give one winner a trip to Los Angeles and priority tickets to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Also included is green room access, a behind-the-scenes tour of the set, a meet-and-greet with Jimmy, and a chance to sit at his desk on stage. You won’t need to worry about travel or lodging; the prize includes round-trip travel and a two-night hotel stay for two. The lucky winner will also receive a five-piece luggage package by BÉIS, the ultimate travel gear and accessories for the modern traveler!
