Thank You to Everyone Who Joined the #BleedingMe Blood Drive in June 2026
Live music and giving back – two incredible experiences that went hand-in-hand in summer 2026, with a collaboration between Metallica and the Irish and Northern Irish Blood Transfusion Services. Metallica urged fans to give blood and help keep hospitals stocked across the country.
Metallica and its foundation, All Within My Hands, encouraged fans in Ireland - North and South - to give blood around Metallica’s Dublin gigs on 19th and 21st June 2026.
By rolling up a sleeve to give blood, the Metallica Family can help trauma victims, those facing cancer, new mothers, people living with blood disorders, and so many more.
Giving Blood Rocks!
People across Ireland are already 'Hardwired' to help others, and we'll go to 'Hell and Back' for our community. It's all part of our 'Attitude' and giving blood is one more way to be the 'Hero of the Day'. Bring a friend along and get 'The Unnamed Feeling' from saving lives. When you need a life saving blood donation, 'Nothing Else Matters' except a donor 'Pumping Blood'.
“It’s a fantastic and unique way for us to get the message to people about how important it is to give blood. Summer can be a challenging time to meet the increasing blood needs of hospitals, and we hope this collaboration with Metallica fans increases everybody’s blood flows”
Sharon Ryan, Director of Donor Experience and Collections with the IBTS.
