There’s just “One” more No Repeat Weekend at Sphere for Metallica in 2026.
The Rock Hall of Famers’ last three concerts at the visually-stunning venue this year are scheduled to take place:
If you’d like to see James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo shred live, last-minute tickets are available for all three gigs.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any of these shows was $341 including fees on Vivid Seats.
No Repeat Weekend passes — that get you into the Nov. 5 and 7 concerts — start at $902 including fees.
Should you attend on Thursday, you’ll likely catch a 16-song performance including “Master of Puppets,” “Seek & Destroy,” “Sad But True,” “Ride the Lightning” and “Nothing Else Matters,” based on our findings from past shows at Set List FM.
Set List FM reports their Saturday shows consist of “Enter Sandman,” “For Whom The Bell Tolls,” “The Unforgiven,” “Fuel” and, of course, “One.”
And, while the songs are unimpeachable classics, the real draw here is how the music is amplified by Sphere’s larger-than-life wraparound visuals and sound system.
“Even the most seasoned follower of metal’s biggest group could not be prepared for the visual onslaught of what’s to come across these two, no-repeat nights,” Rock Sound raved after seeing the heavy group in Sin City.
“Most memorable is the double-header of ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’ and ‘One’, accompanied by black and white war imagery as planes fly overhead, clock towers crumble and we roam through the mud trodden trenches. A fully immersive musical experience that is simply astonishing to witness in person.”
Now this sounds like “One” truly can’t-miss experience.

Metallica new music
On April 14, 2023, Metallica dropped their 11th studio album “72 Seasons.”
The thrumming, high-velocity record quickly sets the tone with the non-stop thrill ride title track and then refuses to let up throughout its healthy 77-minute runtime.
Indisputable highlights include the snaking “Sleepwalk My Life Away,” nakedly raw “You Must Burn!” and unrelenting “Lux Æterna.” Don’t expect a second to breathe; Metallica goes hard the entire time with nary a moment to rest. Just the way it should be.
To hear for yourself, you can listen to “72 Seasons” here.
