#BleedingMe Goes International with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood

Following the success of our domestic blood drives, we’re excited to announce our next life-saving partnership with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood and All Within My Hands! During the upcoming Australian leg of our M72 World Tour, the Metallica Family will once again have the opportunity to donate critically needed blood and plasma.

By signing up to donate in selected CBD donor centers in the week before each tour stop, fans will receive a limited-edition t-shirt designed by the one and only Squindo. The t-shirts will be available while supplies last to donors at:


Perth: Donor Centre from October 25-31

Adelaide: Donor Centre from October 29 - November 4

Melbourne: CBD Donor Centre from November 1-7

Brisbane: Donor Centre from November 5-11

Sydney: Town Hall and York Street Donor Centres from November 8-14

This collaboration builds on our recent partnership with the American Red Cross, during which Metallica fans provided more than 2,000 blood and platelet donations to save lives! If you’re in the United States, don’t forget to sign up for our latest “Give Where You Live” campaign with the Red Cross.

Just one donation can save up to three lives and help people living with cancer and immune deficiencies, new mothers, trauma patients, and people undergoing surgery. To book a donation and the opportunity to receive the limited-edition Metallica merchandise, call 13 14 95, visit lifeblood.com.au/metallica, or download the Donate Blood App.

*Fun fact: If you have tattoos, you are likely to be eligible to donate. You can donate plasma straight away after a tattoo, as long as it was done in a licensed tattoo parlour in Australia. And you’ll need to wait just one week to give blood or platelets.
