"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!'" exclaimed drummer Lars Ulrich in a statement. "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!"
The residency will continue Metallica’s No Repeat Weekends tradition—where no two songs are repeated during Thursday and Saturday performances—a concept that was launched with the start of their M72 World Tour in 2023. Before hitting Vegas, the European leg of the tour will kick off again in May, with Metallica playing dates in Frankfurt, Glasgow, Zürich, and beyond.
