Metallica's 2022 Helping Hands Concert is right around the corner, and today (November 22nd), the band revealed that Paramount+ will be streaming the charity event, which benefits the band's All Within My Hands foundation. As reported by Variety, the platform will broadcast the concert in the U.S. and Canada on Friday, December 16th (the day of the show), beginning at 5:30 p.m. PT. Taking place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, the show will feature a unique set from Metallica, as well as an opening performance by Greta Van Fleet.
The Helping Hands Concert will be available to stream in the U.K., Latin America, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and France on Saturday, December 17th, Australia on Sunday, December 18th, and South Korea in 2023. The concert will also be simulcast on Pluto TV globally and on MTV's YouTube channel.
Metallica's All Within My Hands foundation works with partners around the world to combat food insecurity, provide funds in areas of natural disasters and support education with the Metallica Scholars Initiative. 100% of ticket sales and donation proceeds from the Helping Hands concert — and its accompanying auction of items and experiences that goes live December 5th — will go directly to those in need via All Within My Hands. The previous two Helping Hands Concerts in 2018 and 2020 helped to raise more than $3 million dollars collectively.
