Metallica will take over Las Vegas’ Sphere with ‘Life Burns Faster’ on eight dates in October, coinciding with their M72 ‘No Repeat Weekends’. Each two-night run will feature a different setlist, showcasing the band’s 40-year catalogue alongside Sphere’s immersive screens, sound system and 4D effects. The events are intended to expand the concert experience beyond the venue itself.

Additional activities include a pop-up shop and fan experience, The Black Box exhibition of memorabilia and interactive displays, and live discussions with collaborator Squindo. SiriusXM will broadcast from the city, while Blackened will host cigar events and a happy hour; a Red Cross blood donation experience will also offer memorabilia for donors. The Sphere shows are scheduled for 1 and 3 October, 15 and 17 October, 22 and 24 October, and 29 and 31 October.
