Metallica have their sights set on Las Vegas’ cutting-edge venue, The Sphere, and they’re ready to go big. Guitarist Kirk Hammett confirmed the band is eager to bring a “crazy experience” to the immersive space, which boasts a massive wraparound LED screen and state-of-the-art audio.

“Oh, heck, yeah!” Hammett told The Hollywood Reporter. “That’s using modern technology to the fullest… connected to AI and making it a crazy experience.”

Known for embracing innovation—from Fortnite avatars to Apple Vision Pro concerts—Metallica continue pushing boundaries. Hammett warned other artists to evolve or risk being “exploited” in the ever-changing industry.

Despite their stadium-sized shows, Metallica still value fan connection. Hammett shared how the band scans the crowd pre-show, recognizing familiar faces. “It’s our time to acknowledge them… Let’s all have fun again.”

A Sphere show may not be confirmed yet—but it’s definitely on their radar.
