Is Metallica headed for a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas?
A new report says that the band is "ready to ink a deal for a Sphere residency" to start in the fall of 2026 after their M72 tour wraps up next summer in Europe. The report adds that "specifics haven't been confirmed or announced yet."
There could be validity to this rumor as, ack in April, guitarist Kirk Hammett was asked if he and his bandmates would be interested in playing there. Hammett responded, "Oh, heck, yeah! That's a great example of how venues are changing. That's using modern technology to the fullest, to really up the levels of production and entertainment, connected to A.I. and making it a crazy experience."
