Metallica To Perform At UK Live Earth

Metallica have been confirmed to play this year's Live Earth show at Wembley in London on July 7 to raise awareness about climate change.

The band's short set will be available for download after the event from iTunes and www.livemetallica.com and all proceeds will go to the Alliance for Climate Protection and other international non-governmental agencies.

"We keep waiting for future generations to solve the problems; to invent cleaner technology; to pay the costs. That's the same as passing the buck," says drummer Lars Ulrich. "I want the buck to stop here, now. I want lawmakers and laws to impose change. Nothing else will keep this world safe for my sons."

The following day, Metallica play their very own headline show at Wembley Stadium.
