Very longtime HardRadio friends METALLICA will be honored as the visionary partner of the year at the 2026 Red Cross Gala in San Francisco, CA, which takes place on March 21. They have issued the following statement: "We're beyond honored to be named the Visionary Partner of the Year at this year's Red Cross Gala in San Francisco! Giving back as a united, engaged community has always been at the core of All Within My Hands, and working alongside the Red Cross has shown us just how powerful that can be. [] Thank you to the Red Cross for this incredible recognition, and thank you to the Metallica Family, who prove every day that doing good is something we all can amplify. Seeing fans, volunteers, and entire communities show up again and again shows just how much this work matters."
