Fans who give blood at specific CBD donor centers in the week before each concert will get a t-shirt designed by artist Tony Squindo.<\/p>\n<p>The t-shirts will be handed out to donors at five spots. Perth&#8217;s Donor Centre from Oct. 25-31. Adelaide&#8217;s from Oct. 29 through Nov. 4, Melbourne&#8217;s CBD Donor Centre from Nov. 1-7, Brisbane&#8217;s location from Nov. 5-11, and Sydney&#8217;s Town Hall and York Street Donor Centres from Nov. 8-14.<\/p>\n<p>This effort builds on work the band did with the American Red Cross, where fans contributed more than 2,000 blood and platelet donations during that initiative. The band still runs a Give Where You Live\u00a0program with the Red Cross in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>One donation can save up to three lives. Recipients include people living with cancer and immune deficiencies, new mothers, trauma patients, and those undergoing surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Fans can book appointments by calling 13 14 95, visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/lifeblood.com.au\/metallica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">lifeblood.com.au\/metallica<\/a>, or downloading the Donate Blood App. People with tattoos done at licensed parlors in Australia can donate plasma right away, but need to wait one week to give blood or platelets.<\/p>\n<p>The band co-headlined the Dreamfest benefit concert at Chase Center in San Francisco on Oct. 15. The event raised funds for UCSF Benioff Children&#8217;s Hospitals in San Francisco and took place during Salesforce&#8217;s annual technology conference, Dreamforce. Pop star Benson Boone also headlined the show.<\/p>\n<p>The M72 World Tour dates in Australia and New Zealand are sold out. The shows kick off on Nov. 1 at Optus Stadium in Perth.
