Metallica expands Las Vegas Sphere residency with six additional shows

Metallica has announced six extra dates for their upcoming Las Vegas residency at the state-of-the-art Sphere, bringing the total to 20 performances across October and November 2026, and January and February 2027. The shows will be presented under the banner Life Burns Faster, a nod to a lyric from Metallica frontman James Hetfield’s track Master of Puppets.

The newly added No Repeat Weekend performances—where the band will deliver completely unique sets for each weekend—are scheduled for February 4 & 6, 18 & 20, and 25 & 27, 2027.

Co-founder and drummer Lars Ulrich said, “About 12 seconds into U2’s opening night at Sphere in 2023, I thought, ‘We have to do this—it’s completely uncharted territory!’ This residency lets us reimagine the live experience and connect with fans in a new way. We are beyond excited to share it with the world and take things to the next level.”

By staging a residency at Sphere, Metallica joins a lineup of iconic acts including U2, Dead & Company, No Doubt, Eagles, and Phish, who have all performed at the revolutionary venue.
