Metallica announce non-Sphere U.S. shows with Suicidal Tendencies and Spiritbox

Metallica have revealed a couple of non-Sphere U.S. shows to wrap up 2026.

Taking place in the midst of their epic Las Vegas Sphere residency – which runs between October 1 and March 13, 2027 – the metal icons will head to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut to celebrate the venue’s 25th anniversary. At the first night on November 19 they’ll be joined by Suicidal Tendencies, and then on November 21 they’ll be supported by Spiritbox.

“Just as we’re getting ready to head out on the road for the first shows of ’26, we’ve added two more gigs to the calendar to wrap up the year,” they say. “Join us at the intimate Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT, to celebrate their 25th anniversary… as we like to say, they’re just getting started! We’ll be there for a No Repeat Weekend on November 19 and 21.

“You know the drill: two nights, two totally different setlists with no songs repeated, two unique special guests, and one great weekend! Joining us on November 19 will be our tour buddies Suicidal Tendencies, and on November 21, our new friends Spiritbox.”

The band add that, “We hope to see you there as we join a long list of artists who have performed at the arena, including Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Lady Gaga, Chris Rock, Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Joel, Beyoncé and many more. Twenty-five years and over 3,000 events later, we’re honoured to help celebrate this milestone.”

Before all that, though, ’Tallica’s M72 World Tour recommences in just over a month’s time, when the band hit the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece on May 9. They’ll be returning to the UK and Ireland in June/July.
