Rock band Metallica just announced they’ll be playing a special concert at the Fonda next week. The thrash metal stalwarts are staging the intimate show as a fundraiser for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
Getting tickets won’t be easy—the Hollywood venue is a fraction of the size of the stadiums the band is used to playing. If you want to get in, sign up on the band’s site to join their Fifth Member fan club. Then you’ll be able to enter a lottery for a code to buy $25 tickets starting tomorrow at 9am. If you miss out on the lottery offer, tickets will go on sale to the general public at 11am, but the price jumps to $100.
Even if you end up paying the higher ticket price, at least your money will go to a good cause. All proceeds from the concert are being donated to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. One in seven people in Los Angeles County suffers food insecurity and the donations will support the Food Bank’s work to offer resources to that community. In addition to the cash donation, fans are also encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food items and canned goods to drop off at the concert.
Earlier this week, Metallica picked up their 17th GRAMMY nomination, a Best Rock Song nod for “Hardwired” off their November release, Hardwired… to Self-Destruct, which came after an eight-year break in recording, the longest in the band’s 35-year career.
Metallica plays at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood on December 15 at 9pm. Tickets are available online starting December 9 for $25 or $100.
