Metallica have added 16 dates to their “Life Burns Faster” residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, tripling the number of shows for the engagement, which begins this fall and now extends into 2027. The general on-sale for all dates for Metallica’s residency at Sphere in Las Vegas begins today (Friday, March 6) at 10 a.m. PT.
As with the previously announced eight-show run, the new additions to “Life Burns Faster” will continue the “No Repeat Weekend” tradition that began with the 2023 kick-off of the band’s M72 World Tour, with no songs repeated on each Thursday and Saturday. See below for a full list of dates.
According to the announcement, the residency “will see live staples and surprises spanning the Metallica catalog enhanced by the venue’s immersive technologies that will allow fans to experience the sound and fury of the band’s live performance in new experiential dimensions.” Sphere’s technology includes “the world’s highest resolution LED display” that wraps up, over and around the audience; Sphere Immersive Sound; and “multi-sensory” 4D technology.
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!”
Metallica Life Burns Faster at Sphere is produced by Live Nation and presented by inKind.
