Official live footage of Metallica‘s October 15th, 2026 performance of their “Master Of Puppets” opener “Battery” at The Sphere in Las Vegas, NV went up online today. The thrash metal legends kicked off their ‘Life Burns Faster‘ residency at that visually encompassing venue at the start of last month.
As you’d expect, availability of tickets to those special shows from the thrash metal titans became a source of contention among fans, leading to the run being extended into 2027. Metallica themselves also acknowledged fan concerns over the ticketing process for the run. As such, for those unlucky enough to get through the brutal queues in time, this ongoing series of official live footage from the shows is about the next best thing.
This week will see the final pair of shows at The Sphere for the band in 2026, before things back up in late January.
