On top of their upcoming Sphere residency in Las Vegas, Metallica have added another pair of U.S. shows to their 2026. The world’s biggest metal band are set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Mohegan Sun Arena in Montville, Connecticut, and they’ll be joined by Suicidal Tendencies and Spiritbox.
‘Tallica announced the East Coast two-fer earlier today (April 6th), confirming that the shows take place November 19th and 21st. As has been the case for the past few years of shows, these will be done “No Repeat Weekend”-style, bringing Connecticut fans two entirely unique setlists this fall.
Suicidal Tendencies, who have supported Metallica throughout their “M72 World Tour”, are on deck as the opening act on November 19th, while djent-pop force Spiritbox — “our new friends,” per ‘Tallica’s latest message — will hit the stage first on the 21st.
Pre-sales for single-day and weekend ticket packages go live this Wednesday (April 8th) at 10 a.m. ET, while the general on-sale begins this Friday (April 10th). You’ll find more ticketing info here.
As previously reported, Metallica will be staging a series of “No Repeat Weekends” at the immersive Sphere venue in Las Vegas this October. Demand for those shows was high, so they added even more dates to their Sin City residency, with additional appearances now taking place between November and March of 2027. The full breakdown of Sphere sets is here.
Before all that, they have spring shows lined up across Europe with Gojira, Pantera, Avatar and Knocked Loose. Those overseas date details can be peeped over here.
