Explained simply
Metallica are an American heavy metal band formed in 1981, known for songs such as “Sad But True”. A residency is a run of concerts by an artist at one venue, rather than a tour that moves between cities.
The Las Vegas Sphere is a large venue built for concerts and other events, with a high-resolution screen surrounding the audience and a specialised sound system. Metallica’s residency pairs Thursday and Saturday shows, with different songs on each night. The setup gives the band a chance to present its music alongside large-scale visuals and venue-wide sound.
