You Can Now Join The New Metallica Concert Experience And You Don’t Even Need A Ticket
For decades, Metallica has defined what it means to experience live music—stadium-filling energy, pyrotechnic-fueled performances, and a fanbase that sings along so loud, it becomes part of the show. Now, with Apple Vision Pro, that experience is being redefined in a way that’s never been done before.
On March 14, Apple is launching its most immersive concert experience yet, bringing Metallica’s M72 World Tour: Mexico City straight to Apple Vision Pro users. Featuring Whiplash, One, and Enter Sandman, this isn’t just a high-definition concert stream—it’s a full-body, all-senses-engaged performance that places you right in the heart of the action.
The future of live music? It might just be here.
Beyond Front Row—You’re on Stage
Metallica has never been a band to do things halfway, and Apple has matched that energy by using 14 custom-designed Immersive Video cameras to capture the concert from perspectives no fan has ever seen before.
- 180-degree ultra-high-resolution video puts you inside the famed Snake Pit, on stage with the band, and even in the crowd—surrounded by 65,000 screaming fans.
- Spatial Audio brings the concert to life, shifting the sound dynamically as you turn your head, making it feel like you’re actually standing in the middle of the performance.
- Multiple perspectives capture every moment—from Lars Ulrich’s thunderous drum solos to the intensity of James Hetfield’s vocals.
- This isn’t just a concert film. It’s what Metallica feels like if you were standing dead center on stage, with amps shaking the ground beneath you.
Metallica and Apple
Metallica has spent four decades pushing the boundaries of what a live show can be, from their early thrash metal club days to reinventing stadium tours with 360-degree stages. So it’s no surprise that they’d be one of the first artists to step into Apple’s next-level concert tech.
“Game changing is putting it lightly,” says Lars Ulrich. “Seeing our concert like that, along with the energy of the Mexico City fans—it’s very immersive, and it’s super fun. We’ve always been interested in pushing the boundaries, and Metallica on Apple Vision Pro is exactly that.”
Apple’s Tor Myhren agrees: “You feel like you’re right there: front row, backstage, and even on stage with one of the biggest bands of all time.”
For fans, that’s an understatement.
More Than Just a Concert—It’s a Revolution
The M72 World Tour: Mexico City experience isn’t just a one-off experiment. Apple has made it clear that Immersive Video is here to stay. Alongside Metallica, they’re releasing:
- New episodes of Adventure and Boundless, their signature Immersive Video series.
- A sports documentary set in Yankee Stadium.
- A special edition of Bono: Stories of Surrender, because apparently, U2 is also ready to step into the future of performance.
For now, though, Metallica’s launch marks a turning point—where live music isn’t just something you attend, but something you step inside.
How to Experience Metallica on Apple Vision Pro
If you’re lucky enough to own an Apple Vision Pro, you can experience Metallica’s immersive concert starting March 14.
- Want a preview? Apple Store locations will offer demo sessions of the experience.
- Need the full effect? The M72 World Tour: Mexico City EP will also be available on Apple Music in Spatial Audio.
- With the band still on tour and Apple pushing the limits of concert technology, this might just be the first step toward a future where stadium concerts aren’t just watched, but experienced on a whole new level.
One thing is clear—this isn’t just the best seat in the house. It’s the only seat on stage.
