Watch Metallica’s California wildfire benefit show

Metallica have released a stream of their headline set at the Band Together Bay Area benefit show which took place last week.

The band live streamed the event last Thursday night, but have now made their full show available via their YouTube channel.

The concert took place at AT&T Park, San Francisco, and had was organised to raise funds for those affected by the recent wildfires in California, which have left 42 people dead and saw more than 8000 homes and buildings destroyed.

Before Metallica took to the stage, G-Eazy, Rancid, Dave Matthews, Dead & Company and Raphael Saadiq played sets.

Money raised from the show went towards Tipping Point – a charity that fights poverty in the Bay Area. Watch the full 72-minute set below.

Metallica will continue their WorldWired tour dates in February, with a run of shows planned across Europe. Find a full list of their live dates below.
