Following months of persistent rumors and high levels of fan speculation (and our video from last week which named the most likely next Vegas Sphere residencies), heavy metal legends Metallica have officially confirmed they will perform a limited engagement at the Sphere. The upcoming run of shows, titled Life Burns Faster, is scheduled for October 2026 and marks the first time a major hard rock act will take over the technologically advanced venue. The Metallica Sphere Residency will consist of eight performances spread across four weekends. Specifically, the band is set to take the stage on October 1, 3, 15,…

Las Vegas Sphere has already welcomed some big-name performers, including the Eagles, Kenny Chesney, and U2. Now, rumors are flying, and everyone wants to know: Who will headline the next Sphere residency?!

What amazing new shows at the Vegas Sphere will be playing this fall? There are huge rock stars scheduled to perform, an “immersive” concert movie people will love, the first ever electronic music act, and a Hollywood movie classic that fits their huge wrap-around screen! The Sphere has been lighting up Las Vegas for over a year now, with some amazing displays both outside and inside the venue. And while this fall will bring some huge new shows, it ain’t all been beer and Skittles! Over its first year of operation the Sphere lost nearly $500 million. Not a great…

Sin City is always changing… just ask the Tropicana or the Mirage. Now, we have heard whispers of at least two new projects at the Las Vegas Sphere. If these rumors are accurate, then the venue should continue to bring in audiences for the next several months, even without the headlining live entertainment events they have already locked in. You will only read this scoop on our website, and perhaps the website we stole it from, Vital Vegas. We do hope they’re not angry with us.
