Metallica's Life Burns Faster residency is underway at Sphere, and it has grown well past its original plan. The run opened October 1, 2026, and now totals 24 shows through March 13, 2027, after the band added dates because of demand.

The shows come in Thursday and Saturday pairs billed as No Repeat Weekends: if you catch both nights of a pair, you won't hear the same song twice. That gives fans a real reason to book two nights rather than one.

Three 2026 shows remain: Saturday, October 31, and Thursday and Saturday, November 5 and 7. After that the residency takes a break and returns January 28 and 30, 2027, followed by February pairs on the 4th and 6th, 18th and 20th, and 25th and 27th, then a final stretch on March 4 and 6 and March 11 and 13.

Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster, and Metallica's official site lists the full date schedule.
