Tickets and presales
The Fan Club presale for Fifth Members begins Wednesday, April 8 at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT. Public tickets go on sale Friday, April 10 at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT, with the Mohegan Sun box office offering tickets starting Saturday, April 11.
Single-day and two-day passes will be available for both dates. Fans are advised to secure presale codes and register a Ticketmaster account ahead of sales.
No Repeat Weekend format
The shows will follow Metallica’s No Repeat Weekend format. The concept began on the band’s M72 world tour.
Under the format, the group performs two completely different set lists across two nights. The approach lets fans attend both shows without hearing the same songs twice.
Mohegan Sun anniversary and venue
Mohegan Sun celebrates 25 years and more than 3,000 events. Metallica joins a long list of artists who have performed at the arena.
- Bruce Springsteen
- Prince

- Beyoncé
The complex sits on 185 acres along the Thames River in southeastern Connecticut. It is owned and operated by Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment.
The property includes two casinos, 1,600 hotel rooms, two spas, a golf course, and more than 80 shops and restaurants. It also features three entertainment venues, including a 10,000-seat arena.
Mohegan Sun is within easy reach of New York, Boston, Hartford and Providence. The site is about 15 minutes from the waterfront and attractions of Mystic Country.
Las Vegas Sphere residency
Metallica will headline a residency at Sphere in Las Vegas this fall. The run, titled “Life Burns Faster,” begins in October with eight initial dates.
