Metallica are doubling down on their massive Las Vegas takeover. The metal titans have announced six additional shows for their upcoming Sphere residency, pushing the total run to 20 nights inside the cutting-edge venue.
The newly added concerts will take place in February 2027 as part of the band's immersive Life Burns Faster production. The fresh batch of dates are in February, which now makes the full run:
- October 1 & 3
- October 8 & 10
- October 15 & 17
- October 22 & 24
- October 29 & 31
- November 5 & 7
- January 28 & 30
- February 4 & 6
- February 18 & 20
- February 25 & 27
While the dates have been coming in hot and fast, the ticket rollout hasn't been entirely smooth. Earlier this week, Ticketmaster acknowledged that some fans experienced delays while trying to purchase seats for the Sphere run.
In a statement, the company attributed the problems to a security incident. "Yesterday, Ticketmaster blocked a targeted attack that tried to bypass our security systems," the company said.
"During this period, we paused and slowed queues on certain sales to protect tickets, and some fans had difficulty accessing parts of the site. We appreciate everyone's patience as we worked to fight these bad actors."
The Sphere residency – first revealed on February 25 after months of rumors – will carry forward Metallica's "No Repeat Weekend" concept. The format debuted during the band's M72 world tour in 2023 and has become a fan-favorite twist on their live shows.
Across each Thursday and Saturday pairing, the band promises entirely different setlists, meaning no songs will be repeated during a given weekend.
