In a new contest from iHeartRadio, one lucky Metallica fan and a friend will fly round-trip to Las Vegas where they will stay for four nights and head to the first two show's of the band's Sphere residency on Thursday, October 1st and Saturday, October 3rd — with two P1 premium reserved tickets. The pair will also receive $200 in spending cash, a "Metallica: Life Burns Faster" show poster, and the complete Metallica studio vinyl catalog, including an autographed 72 Seasons vinyl album.
"Metallica: Life Burns Faster" kicks off at the Sphere on October 1st and runs throughout the rest of the month. On their website, Metallica announced the residency in a note to fans, sharing, "Surprise! The world’s worst-kept secret is now official... we are bringing our No Repeat Weekends to Sphere in Las Vegas this fall!!" They added, "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."
The note goes on to explain that the band will play songs that span their entire catalog, "enhanced by the venue's immersive technologies that will allow you to experience the 'Tallica sound in new experiential dimensions." They concluded by saying, "We are beyond excited to share this with the world in six months' time and way f***** psyched to go next level, it’s completely uncharted territory! This residency gives us another chance to reinvent how we interact with you guys in a live setting, and we can’t wait to see you there!"
