METALLICA

Almost 40 years ago, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and their comrades-in-arms gave their first concert in Germany, back then in the small Hemmerleinhalle in Neunkirchen, Upper Franconia. In 1986 they played for the first time in Munich at the Circus Krone, one year later at the Congress Hall of the German Museum. In 1992 they celebrated their debut in the Olympic Hall, then in 2004 in the Olympic Stadium. Most recently they rocked the park at their Open Air 2019, now the world stars of metal are coming back to the Olympic Stadium for a double concert - with old classics as well as songs from their new album "72 Seasons", the first studio album since 2016. 

According to Hetfield, the 72 seasons refer to "the first 18 years of our lives, when our true or false self-image is formed. The concept that we were told by our parents of 'who we are'." A portion of the proceeds from the concerts will go to the band's All Within My Hands Foundation (AWMH). Founded in 2017, AWMH has raised nearly $13 million to date - $5.9 million for career and technical education programmes in the US, more than $2.5 million to address food insecurity and more than $3.2 million for disaster relief efforts worldwide.
