Metallica will take over the Sphere in Las Vegas for a multi-night residency in 2026, the band confirmed in an official announcement this week. The run, titled Life Burns Faster, marks the group’s first time performing at the immersive venue.
In a statement released alongside the news, the band outlined plans for several shows spread across select dates in the fall. The residency format keeps the production in one location rather than moving city to city, allowing for a more elaborate setup tailored to the venue’s technology.
Sphere has become known for its wraparound LED display and advanced audio system, designed to create a fully immersive experience for audiences. That environment gives large-scale acts room to rethink how their music is presented live.
The 2026 dates add another high-profile rock residency to the Las Vegas calendar, with ticket details and additional show information expected closer to the performances.
