Metallica have announced a pair of Connecticut shows for November, with Suicidal Tendencies and Spiritbox also on the bill.
The metal icons are preparing for a length residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas later this year, and now they have added a special two-night stint at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, to mark the venue’s 25th anniversary.
They will now play a total of 24 dates at the state-of-the-art venue. Now, they have gone further by bringing the total number of shows to 24, including a pair of shows on November 5 and 7, as well as January 28 and 30, February 4, 6, 18, 20, 25 and 27 and March 4, 6, 11 and 13.

The band has been hinting at this residency for several months now. "All of our managers and our production people have been there and looked at it," drummer Lars Ulrich told Howard Stern in August 2025. "It’s something that we’re considering, [but] nothing is etched in stone or green-lit. It’s something that we’re looking at at some point when the 2026 tour is done."
"I was there seeing U2 the first night, when they took that stage, I wanted to see it for myself before I saw it on YouTube or read about it. I was there, like everybody else that was there that night, I was completely blown away, and felt that was the beginning of another chapter in live performances."
