Metal Anarchy

Metallica have announced a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada. The shows will take place on October 1, 3, 15, 17, 22, 24, 29, and 31.

The band shared more information:

“Surprise! The world’s worst-kept secret is now official… we are bringing our No Repeat Weekends to Sphere in Las Vegas this fall!!

Our Sphere weekend residency, Life Burns Faster, will debut on October 1 & 3, with six more shows to follow. As you’ve come to expect, each set of shows will be No Repeat Weekends, meaning if you attend both the Thursday and Saturday shows, you will not hear the same song twice.

Two-Night and Single-Night Tickets go on sale Friday, March 6, at 10 AM PT, with several presales over the next week and a half. Check out all the details for the Fan Club Presale beginning Monday, March 2. Sign up for the Ticketmaster Artist Presale beginning Tuesday, March 3, and see the complete list of all other presales.

The ultimate pass for the fan who doesn’t want to miss a thing is back, and in the Vegas spirit, is now called the “Full House” Ticket (formerly known as the “I Disappear” Ticket). Grab one of these and attend every Metallica show at Sphere in Las Vegas in 2026. We’re also offering a full complement of Travel Packages* and Enhanced Experiences. VIP experiences range from Meet & Greet access, a pre-show onstage photo opportunity, and exclusive entry to the Black Box Experience to first access to the venue or a coveted spot inside the Snake Pit.

Presales for all Travel Packages begin on Friday, February 27, at 7 AM PT for Legacy Members and 9 AM PT for Fifth Members, followed by the general on sale at 11 AM PT. For more information, visit metallicatravel.com. Presales for Enhanced Experience Tickets and the Full House Ticket are included in the Fan Club Presale on Monday, March 2. For more information about these premium tickets, visit wearesuper.co/metallica.

Life Burns Faster set lists will span the entire catalog, enhanced by the venue’s immersive technologies that will allow you to experience the ’Tallica sound in new experiential dimensions. Whether you’ve seen us from the upper reaches of a stadium or arena, at an intimate club or theater gig, or from the Snake Pit, Sphere’s technology will present an entirely new live experience for everyone in the house…including us! From the sights (the world’s highest-resolution LED display that wraps up, over, and around the audience) to the sounds (immersive audio delivering unmatched clarity and precision to every guest) to the multi-sensory 4D technology, Sphere shows promise to deliver a totally unique experience each and every night.

We are beyond excited to share this with the world in six months’ time and way fuckin’ psyched to go next level, it’s completely uncharted territory! This residency gives us another chance to reinvent how we interact with you guys in a live setting, and we can’t wait to see you there!
