METALLICA On Board For London Live Earth Concert





THe following update has been posted at METALLICA's official site:

"Another one of those well kept Metallica "secrets" that you guys have been chatting about for weeks now is indeed confirmed.

We are honored to be playing at the Live Earth concert in London at Wembley Stadium on July 7th along with RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, BEASTIE BOYS, FOO FIGHTERS, SNOW PATROL, MADONNA, GENESIS and many others.

This won't be the full-on Metalli-show, but the performance will be available shortly after to download for a minimal fee on iTunes and on our live download site, www.livemetallica.com , home of live recordings from recent tours. All proceeds from the sale of downloads will benefit four climate charities that we have selected, and a number of web, TV, and radio outlets are broadcasting the shows so you can check it out wherever you are.

What exactly is this "Live Earth" thing you ask? All the details are here: www.liveearth.org . The short version is that on July 7th, artists from all over the world will be performing at nine different shows on seven continents to help bring awareness to current global warming concerns and raise money for the Alliance for Climate Protection and other international non-governmental agencies.
