#MetallicaMondays kicked off its weekly concert series on March 23, 2020, with "Metallica: Live at Slane Castle," which happened on June 8, 2019. With the coronavirus spread that prevented large gatherings around the world, the band joined the long list of postponed or canceled concert tours.
Launching the streamed concerts was not only the band's effort to keep in touch with the fans who would have wanted to see them perform live. The filmed shows are also their platform to raise donations fr their foundation, "All Within My Hands." Generated funds are directed to hunger and other COVID-19 needs.
