After plenty of rumors and speculation, it is finally official. Metallica is heading to Las Vegas to headline a monthlong residency at The Sphere. They’re bringing their brand of heavy metal for Life Burns Faster Live At The Sphere. This is a continuation of their No Repeat Weekends that they’ve done on their current M72 World Tour. The eight-show run starts on October 1st and 3rd, then 15th and 17th, then 22nd and 24th, and then wraps up on the 29th and finally Halloween. The no-repeat weekend means that if you go to both shows, you won’t hear the same song twice.

Two-night No Repeat Weekend tickets and single-night tickets will go on sale March 6th at 10am PT. To register for tickets or for further information regarding pre-sales, enhanced experiences, travel packages and more, visit metallica.lnk.to/MetallicaSphere.

Here’s what they had to say about the show and some comments from Lars Ulrich.

The band’s Sphere residency will see live staples and surprises spanning the Metallica catalog enhanced by the venue’s immersive technologies that will allow fans to experience the sound and fury of the band’s live performance in new experiential dimensions. Whether you’ve seen Metallica from the upper reaches of a stadium or arena, at an intimate club or theater gig or from the famed Snake Pit surrounded by the 360-degree M72 stage, Sphere’s technology, including the world’s highest resolution LED display that wraps up, over and around the audience; Sphere Immersive Sound, which delivers audio with unmatched clarity and precision to every guest; and multi-sensory 4D technology, will present a wholly unique and entirely new Metallica experience for all who attend — including James, Lars, Kirk and Robert.

Metallica co-founder/drummer Lars Ulrich commented, “About 12 seconds into the opening night of  Sphere with U2 back in ‘23, I thought ‘We have to do this, it’s completely uncharted territory!’ This residency gives us another chance to reinvent how we interact with our fans in a live setting. We are beyond excited to share this with the world in six months time, and way fuckin’ psyched to go next level!”
