“Surprise! The world’s worst-kept secret is now official... we are bringing our No Repeat Weekends to Sphere in Las Vegas this fall!! Our Sphere weekend residency, Life Burns Faster, will debut on October 1 & 3, with six more shows to follow. As you’ve come to expect, each set of shows will be No Repeat Weekends, meaning if you attend both the Thursday and Saturday shows, you will not hear the same song twice. Two-Night and Single-Night Tickets go on sale Friday, March 6, at 10 AM PT, with several presales over the next week and a half. Check out all the details for the Fan Club Presale beginning Monday, March 2. Sign up for the Ticketmaster Artist Presale beginning Tuesday, March 3, and see the complete list of all other presales.” (Metallica.com)
