During a recent appearance on “The Howard Stern Show,” Metallica’s Lars Ulrich responded to rumors suggesting that the band are planning a residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas, NV. According to him, “It’s something that [they are] considering, [but] nothing is etched in stone or green-lit.”

Ulrich said the following:
“I’m not going to confirm anything, because there’s nothing to confirm. But I’m not going to deny it, because we’re all such fans of this venue. All of our managers and our production people have been there and looked at it. It’s something that we’re considering, [but] nothing is etched in stone or green-lit. It’s something that we’re looking at at some point when the 2026 tour is done.”
He also added:
“I was there seeing U2 the first night, when they took that stage, I wanted to see it for myself before I saw it on YouTube or read about it. I was there, like everybody else that was there that night, I was completely blown away, and felt that was the beginning of another chapter in live performances.
I’m not going to bullshit you, I would fucking love to do it, let there be no question about it. It’s not signed, sealed and delivered, but speaking to me and asking my opinion, I would fucking love to do it.”
