Metallica is headed to the desert.

The heavy metal icons have officially announced their Life Burns Faster residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

The eight-show run is set for Oct. 1 and 3, 15 and 17, 22 and 24, and 29 and 31 and will continue the band’s No Repeat Weekend tradition first introduced with the 2023 launch of its M72 World Tour. That means no songs will be repeated across each Thursday and Saturday pairing during the residency.
