Metallica’s “Day That Never Comes” has finally come.
On Oct. 1 and 3, the Rock Hall of Famers kicked off their 24-show Life Burns Faster Las Vegas Sphere residency with two big “No Repeat Weekend” exhibits.
Critics were left spellbound.
“The first night of [their] new residency is an immersive plunge into the band’s visual world that showcases the depth of their catalog,” The Guardian raved in a four-star review. “Ulrich is an elastic, fluid drummer, Hetfield’s voice is like a battering ram, and Hammett and Trujillo still look like there’s nowhere they’d rather be than up on that stage, masters of their respective instruments.”
“[They] took full advantage of the Sphere’s hi-tech capabilities, with dramatic animations dwarfing the four band members on stage,” Ultimate Classic Rock famous.
“To call Metallica’s arrival at the $2.3 billion Las Vegas Sphere a residency is to miss the point entirely: it’s a high-tech conquest by a band that has outgrown every traditional stage on Earth,” Louder Sound added.
As for what they took to the stage over the two-show weekend, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo combined issues up a bit.
Set List FM reports that evening one saw the heavy steel legends deliver “Battery,” “Now That We’re Dead” and “…And Justice For All” to the stage for the first time in years.
Then, on evening two, the “Some Kind of Monster” topics unveiled rarely-performed deep cuts “Devil’s Dance” and “The Outlaw Torn,” according to Set List FM.
Of course, long-time fan favorites “Enter Sandman,” “One,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “Master of Puppets” and “Seek & Destroy” all made the cut as effectively over the weekend.
“Combined, both evenings make for a fascinating, phenomenal and unique experience that’s quite unlike anything else,” Kerrang! gushed. Suffice to say that, long after they conquered the globe, Metallica have now also conquered The Sphere.”
If you’d like to be there for this “fascinating, phenomenal and unique experience,” tickets are obtainable for all 22 remaining Sphere exhibits — or 11 “No Repeat Weekends” — from now until March 2027.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could discover on tickets for any one show was $685 including charges on Vivid Seats.
Prices begin at $1,145 including charges for a two-show “No Repeat Weekend.”
