It has been announced that Metallica will debut its Life Burns Faster residency at Sphere in Las Vegas.
The eight-show run will take place on October 1 and 3, 15 and 17, 22 and 24, and 29 and 31, 2026 — and will continue the No Repeat Weekend tradition that began with the 2023 kick-off of the band’s M72 World Tour, with no songs repeated on each Thursday and Saturday throughout the course of the run.
Metallica’s commitment to new and unique live experiences has seen the band play to millions of fans across all seven continents in various venues. The band’s current M72 World Tour has played to over four million fans from Europe and North America to the Pacific Rim and the Middle East since Spring 2023.
Metallica’s Life Burns Faster residency at Sphere will see live staples and surprises spanning the Metallica catalogue, with the venue’s immersive technology allowing fans to experience the live performances in new experimental dimensions. Sphere Immersive Sound technology and multi-sensory 4D technology will present a new Metallica experience to concert-goers.
“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!” said Lars Ulrich, Metallica drummer and co-founder.
Metallica Life Burns Faster at Sphere is produced by Live Nation and presented by Inkind.
Two-night No Repeat Weekend tickets and single-night tickets will go on sale March 6th at 10 am PT (6 pm GMT).
