The new 2027 dates are February 4th & 6th, 18th & 20th, and 25th & 27th; and March 3rd & 5th, and 11th & 13th. Fan Club pre-sales are already underway, while a general on-sale for all tickets starts Friday, March 6th, at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster.

Initially, Metallica only announced eight dates, then added six, and now have tacked on 10 more, while stating, “This is it — we’re maxing out Life Burns Faster,” upon announcing the last four dates. The residency now runs from October 2026 through March 2027.

The residency will see Metallica playing completely unique sets on Thursdays and Saturdays, much like the “No Repeat Weekends” of their ongoing “M72 World Tour.”
