Rock out while saving lives with Metallica's exclusive blood donation experience in Vegas!

In a monumental collaboration that echoes the thunderous riffs of their legendary music, Metallica and the American Red Cross are back, ready to make a difference and save lives with the highly anticipated Red Cross x Metallica Blood Donation Experience. Kicking off on September 28 at the Fashion Show Las Vegas, this pop-up blood donation center is set to immerse fans into the electrifying world of Metallica while making a critical impact.

As the band gears up for their explosive Las Vegas residency, this partnership promises to be more than just a blood drive; it’s an all-access pass to the heart of Metallica. Donors will get a taste of the backstage experience, including a chance to jam on a replica of Lars Ulrich's iconic drum kit. That’s right, you can channel your inner rock star while doing your part to help those in need!

In true Metallica fashion, all participating blood donors will snag a limited-edition T-shirt designed by the legendary Squindo, while supplies last. But that's not all—by donating, you’ll also be entered to win an exact replica of Lars Ulrich's Tama drum kit, crafted just like the one used on the 'WorldWired' tour. This is a chance to own a piece of history while contributing to a cause that saves lives.

With Delta Air Lines sponsoring the event, the Delta Backstage Lounge will offer post-donation refreshments, ensuring that donors are treated like the rock stars they are. Since partnering with the Red Cross in April 2025, Metallica has already helped collect over 25,000 blood donations in the U.S. alone, with the initiative expanding globally, resulting in a staggering 93,000 donations worldwide. This powerful movement not only supports local communities but also makes a significant international impact.

To be part of this epic experience, fans can make an appointment through RedCrossBlood.org/Metallica or simply call 1-800-RED CROSS. Every drop counts, and with the need for all blood types, your contribution can make all the difference. Remember, bring your ID and be ready to rock out for a cause that truly matters!
