Metallica have revealed plans to conclude their 2026 touring schedule with a pair of special, intimate performances at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The two concerts are being held to commemorate the popular entertainment venue’s milestone 25th anniversary.
The shows are scheduled for November 19 and November 21, carrying on the band’s massively successful “No Repeat Weekend” format that was initially introduced during their globe-spanning “M72” world tour. This unique concept guarantees that fans attending both nights will experience two entirely different setlists without a single overlapping song.
In their official announcement, the band shared their excitement to add the anniversary dates to their upcoming itinerary.
“Just as we’re getting ready to head out on the road for the first shows of ’26, we’ve added two more gigs to the calendar to wrap up the year. Join us at the intimate Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT, to celebrate their 25th anniversary… as we like to say, they’re just getting started! We’ll be there for a No Repeat Weekend on November 19 and 21,” the group stated.
“You know the drill: two nights, two totally different set lists with no songs repeated, two unique special guests, and one great weekend!” the band continues. “Joining us on November 19 will be our tour buddies Suicidal Tendencies, and on November 21, our new friends Spiritbox. Single-Day and 2-Day tickets will be available on Friday, April 10, at 10 AM ET // 7 AM PT. Tickets for both dates will also be available beginning Saturday, April 11, at the Mohegan Sun Box Office.”
Dedicated fans in the band’s official club will have the first opportunity to secure their spots at the 10,000-seat arena.
“Fifth Members may purchase tickets early through the Fan Club Presale beginning Wednesday, April 8, at 10 AM ET // 7 AM PT. Get all the details about how to obtain your presale code and register for a Ticketmaster account.”
Reflecting on the venue’s impressive history, the band added: “We hope to see you there as we join a long list of artists who have performed at the arena, including Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Lady Gaga, Chris Rock, Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Joel, Beyoncé, and many more. Twenty-five years and over 3,000 events later, we’re honored to help celebrate this milestone.”
Located on 185 acres along the Thames River, Mohegan Sun operates as a massive 10,000-seat arena nestled within a larger resort complex featuring casinos, hotels, and dozens of restaurants and shops.
Prior to these special November anniversary concerts, Metallica will make history this fall as the very first hard rock act to perform at the cutting-edge Sphere in Las Vegas. That highly anticipated residency, titled “Life Burns Faster“, will launch with eight dates throughout October and will also follow the Thursday and Saturday “No Repeat Weekend” tradition.
