Metallica

Metallica frontman James Hetfield told fans at the band's Las Vegas Sphere residency on October 10 that the group is there for the music, not to push an agenda.

Metallica have announced 12 North American stadium dates for May–June 2027 as part of their M72 World Tour, with support from Limp Bizkit and Avatar.

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, inspired by U2's opening night at the Sphere in Las Vegas, announced the band's own residency at the venue.
