Metallica, Dave Matthews Band and rapper G-Eazy are teaming to assist with the efforts to rebuild Northern California communities following the recent wildfires in the area, which marked the worst in recorded state history.
All three acts are slated to perform at a special benefit show Nov. 9 at San Francisco’s AT&T Park. The concert, called Band Together Bay Area, will raise funds for the Tipping Point Emergency Relief Fund, with the purpose to “support low-income, vulnerable communities impacted by the crisis,” according to the organization’s website.
Metallica has also posted a YouTube video with band members asking fans to help. According to the video, 100% of all donations will go directly to those who need assistance.
As for the concert, organizers say the best seats will be given to “first responders, volunteers, and others impacted by the fires.”
Metallica have a special spot in their hearts for the San Francisco Bay area, as the guys were based there for most of their metal career. G-Eazy is also from the Bay Area.
