This Weekend’s Spotlight: Metallica at Sphere

Metallica’s Life Burns Faster takes over Sphere on Saturday, October 10, at 8:30 PM. It’s this weekend’s headline pick for fans who want their Vegas concert experience loud and larger than life.

If you’re going, give yourself plenty of time to get to the venue and through entry—especially if dinner is part of your evening plans.

Concerts and Residencies

Friday brings a choice between nostalgia, theatrical pop, and heavier sounds. TLC and Salt-N-Pepa with En Vogue bring “It’s Iconic” to Fontainebleau at 7:30 PM, while Empire of the Sun plays PH Live at Planet Hollywood at 7:30 PM.

Two residencies also have Friday and Saturday performances: Josh Groban’s GEMS at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, and New Kids On the Block’s The Right Stuff at Dolby Live, both at 8 PM each night. Choose Groban for an evening centered on his powerhouse vocals, or NKOTB for a throwback pop night.

For a heavier start to Friday, Loathe plays House of Blues at 6:30 PM.

Saturday’s lineup stretches well beyond Sphere:

  • Juanes — Pearl Concert Theater at Palms, 8 PM
  • BRIT FLOYD: The Wall, The Moon and Beyond — Orleans Arena, 8 PM
  • Madeon presents Victory Live — House of Blues, 8 PM
  • Spin Doctors — The Pool at SAHARA, 7:30 PM

On Sunday, The Skivvies perform at Myron’s at The Smith Center at 7 PM, offering a musical alternative to the weekend’s arena concerts and Strip residencies.

Comedy This Weekend

Sebastian Maniscalco has four performances at Encore Theater at Wynn, with 7 PM and 9:30 PM shows on both Friday and Saturday.

Other comedy highlights include:

  • Tumua Das — Palazzo Theatre at The Venetian, Friday at 9:30 PM
  • Mo Amer — The Cosmopolitan, Saturday at 8 PM
  • Max Amini — Encore Theater at Wynn, Sunday at 8 PM

You’ll also find weekend performances at Comedy Cellar, Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club, and Laugh Factory, plus Tape Face for a different kind of comedy night.
