"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!"
"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 will transform the experience."
Metallica announces a residency at Las Vegas' Sphere venue titled "Metallica: Life Burns Faster" featuring eight performances across October 2026. Following their "M72 World Tour" format, the band will perform on Thursdays and Saturdays (October 1st, 3rd, 15th, 17th, 22nd, 24th, 29th, and 31st) with completely different setlists between each pair of shows. General ticket sales begin March 6th at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster, with multiple pre-sales starting earlier. Drummer Lars Ulrich expressed enthusiasm about utilizing Sphere's immersive technology to create a new live experience, inspired by U2's residency at the venue. The performances will showcase Metallica's catalog enhanced by the venue's advanced LED display and immersive technologies.
