After months of speculation, Metallica<\/a> has confirmed a new residency at Sphere<\/a>. The Las Vegas venue will host the metal band\u2019s Life Burns Faster shows across eight dates: October 1, 3, 15, 17, 22, 24, 29, and 31. Check out their full 2026 tour itinerary below.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout 12 seconds into the opening night of Sphere with U2 back in \u201823, I thought \u2018We have to do this, it\u2019s completely uncharted territory!\u201d drummer Lars Ulrich said in a statement. \u201cThis 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\u2019 psyched to go next level!\u201d<\/p>\n

The residency will continue Metallica\u2019s No Repeat Weekends tradition\u2014where no two songs are repeated during Thursday and Saturday performances\u2014that launched with the start of their M72 World Tour in 2023. In May, another European leg of the tour will start up again, with Metallica playing dates in Frankfurt, Glasgow, Z\u00fcrich, and more.<\/p>\n
