Metallica Had Been Eyeing This Venue

That Metallica is slated to play the Sphere should not come as a huge surprise — members of the band have been hinting at it since last year.

“Oh heck, yeah!” Kirk Hammett said to The Hollywood Reporter in 2025 when asked if Metallica would ever perform at the Sphere. “That’s a great example of how venues are changing. That’s using modern technology to the fullest, to really up the levels of production and entertainment, connected to AI and making it a crazy experience.”
