Just hours after Metallica announced they would be playing six more shows in 2027 as part of their Metallica: Life Burns Faster residency, they’ve made it an even 10 with four new dates.
These dates will take them into March 2027, increasing their run at Sphere Las Vegas to 24 shows.
These additional performances come eight days after Metallica’s initial announcement of their residency.
Metallica: Life Burns Faster will kick off on Oct. 1 and as of now, the band’s final show will be on March 13, 2027.
In an email to their fan club, Metallica wrote:
