Metallica has added six more dates to the band’s upcoming Life Burns Faster residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. The exact dates for the added shows have yet to be announced, but are expected to be revealed during the presales on Wednesday, March 4th for members of the Metallica Fifth Member fan club.
After months of speculation, last week Metallica officially announced its Life Burns Faster residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. The band originally announced an eight-show run is set for October 1 and 3, 15 and 17, 22 and 24, and 29 and 31, 2026, marking the band’s first performances at the cutting-edge venue — and making them the first hard rock act to headline it.
The Sphere residency will continue the group’s “No Repeat Weekend” format, introduced with their M72 World Tour in 2023. As with that concept, no songs will be duplicated between the Thursday and Saturday shows during each pairing of concerts.
Two-night ‘No Repeat Weekend’ passes and single-night tickets go on sale March 6 at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET), following a series of presales. For die-hard fans, the all-access option — now dubbed the Full House Ticket (formerly the I Disappear Ticket) — grants entry to every 2026 Sphere performance. Travel packages and upgraded experiences will also be available, including meet-and-greets, onstage photo opportunities, access to the Black Box Experience, early venue entry and spots inside the Snake Pit.
