Metallica’s October 24, 2026 show at Sphere is the Saturday half of a No Repeat Weekend. The best recent guide is the October 17 Saturday set: “Blackened” at the front, a substantial deep-cut middle and “One” into “Enter Sandman” at the finish. It calls for a different listening plan from the Thursday show.
This guide follows the Saturday pattern, then covers the practical decisions that matter once you reach Las Vegas: arrival, bags, the official pop-up and which commemorative shirt actually carries this weekend’s dates.
Predicted October 24 setlist
Metallica’s own reports for October 10 and October 17 establish the Saturday framework. The following order uses October 17 as its base, including the Kirk and Rob duet as its own performance slot. The duet’s actual selection changes.
- Blackened
- Fuel
- Leper Messiah
- Devil’s Dance
- 72 Seasons
- Harvester of Sorrow
- The Day That Never Comes
- The Outlaw Torn
- Kirk & Rob duet — rotating selection
- The Unforgiven
- Orion
- Hardwired
- Whiskey in the Jar
- For Whom the Bell Tolls
- One
- Enter Sandman
The likely anchors and the slots to watch
“Blackened,” “Fuel” and “Leper Messiah” give this night a fast, heavy introduction before the slower menace of “Devil’s Dance.” The more revealing part comes afterward: “The Outlaw Torn” and “The Unforgiven” leave space for a show that is broader than a run of radio singles. If you only have time to revisit a few tracks, give those longer songs a listen alongside “72 Seasons.”
The sixth and seventh slots deserve attention. October 10 used “Until It Sleeps” and “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)”; October 17 used “Harvester of Sorrow” and “The Day That Never Comes.” The instrumental also moved from “The Call of Ktulu” to “Orion.” Those are the realistic places for variation, rather than grounds to invent an entirely new Saturday show.
No Repeat Weekend applies across the paired October 22 and 24 performances. Songs played on Thursday affect what is available on Saturday. The closing stretch has been more consistent: “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” “One” and “Enter Sandman” is the Saturday finish to prepare for.
Before you go: make room for the whole evening
The venue’s Metallica information says doors open 90 minutes before showtime. Use the time on your own ticket to work backward, and aim to finish dinner before that entry window. Get settled early enough to take in the room rather than arriving halfway through the opening number.
Travel light and save the ticket to your wallet
Sphere is at 255 Sands Avenue. Its official visitor FAQ describes a no-bag policy with a small-bag exception of approximately 6 × 6 × 2 inches; medical and diaper-bag exceptions are handled separately. There is no bag or coat check and no re-entry. Leave shopping bags at your hotel before joining the entry line.
Download your mobile ticket in advance and use the entrance shown on it. Sphere is cashless. The FAQ identifies the rideshare pickup and drop-off area at Manhattan Street and Westchester Drive; agree on that meeting point before the post-show crowd disperses. Give yourself time to walk, rather than using a map’s driving arrival estimate as your seat time.
See the official pop-up before filling your hands
The band’s October 24 activity page places the Life Burns Faster Experience at the Venetian’s Summit Showroom, just off Restaurant Row near the bridge to Sphere. Saturday hours run from 10 a.m. until after the show. That makes an earlier visit useful, with a hotel drop-off afterward if you buy anything bulky.
Pick the keepsake by its date and finish
These custom commemorative designs reference October 22 and 24, 2026. The standard cotton tee is the straightforward lower-price option; the acid-washed version adds a faded finish and a heavier listed 260 g fabric. The poster/canvas option suits someone who would rather remember the weekend on a wall than add another shirt.
