Rumors are heating up that Metallica may be heading to The Sphere in Las Vegas, NV for a string of shows in fall 2026. According to outlets like Vital Vegas, industry chatter suggests the thrash legends are lining up a run at the high-tech venue, known for its immersive 4D visuals and wraparound screens. 

While nothing’s confirmed, Kirk Hammett previously told The Hollywood Reporter he was open to the idea:

Oh, heck, yeah! That’s a great example of how venues are changing. That’s using modern technology to the fullest, to really up the levels of production and entertainment, connected to AI and making it a crazy experience.
