Metallica Sphere residency CONFIRMED
After considerable speculation, Metallica have confirmed their residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, which will comprise eight shows across October 2026.
Continuing the band’s ‘no-repeat’ weekend tradition – which sees them perform two shows in each city with entirely unique setlists on each night – the residency will take place October 1 and 3, 15 and 17, 22 and 24, and 29 and 31.

Brought to the Sphere in partnership with Live Nation and inKind, Metallica’s Life Burns Faster – taken from the lyrics to Master of Puppets, of course – will see the metal titans harness the venue’s high-resolution LED light display for the first time, which spans the entire spherical roof and consists of over 1.2 million LED pucks.
A band already known for their elaborate and immersive stage setups, one can only imagine what they have in store for their Sphere residency…
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!”
Both full no-repeat weekend tickets and single-night tickets will go on sale 6 March and 10am PT.
