Heavy metal legends METALLICA will become the first band in the genre to headline a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, unveiling their new Life Burns Faster engagement at the high-tech venue this fall.
The residency follows the format of their acclaimed M72 world tour, meaning fans can expect two completely different set lists on Thursday and Saturday nights during each of the four weeks scheduled for the run. This “No Repeat Weekends” concept has become a hallmark of the band’s live strategy, offering unique experiences across multiple performances.
“Surprise… the rumors are true! We’re officially bringing our No Repeat Weekends to Sphere in Las Vegas this fall,” the band said in a statement. “Our Sphere residency, Life Burns Faster, will debut on October 1 & 3, with six more shows to follow.”
Tickets for the residency will go on sale in stages. Two-Night and Single-Night Tickets become available to the general public on March 6 at 10 AM PT, with presales beginning earlier in the month. Fan Club members will gain access to a presale on March 2, followed by the Ticketmaster Artist Presale on March 3. Additional presales will roll out in the days leading up to the general sale.
For fans seeking the ultimate experience, the “Full House” Ticket returns—previously known as the “I Disappear” Ticket—granting entry to every show in the residency. Enhanced Experience packages and travel bundles are also available, with presales starting February 27 for Legacy Members and February 28 for Fifth Members before opening to the general public.
The Sphere residency marks a significant milestone, as METALLICA becomes the first heavy metal act to perform at the venue’s immersive, next-generation stage. With its cutting-edge visuals and acoustic design, the Sphere is expected to complement the band’s reputation for high-energy, cinematic live shows.
