Metallica played the second show of its Life Burns Faster residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere on Saturday, with a 16-song set that shared no songs with night one. Consequence reported that the performance also featured visuals different from the opening night, alongside several songs the band had not played live in years.
Metallica played a completely different setlist at the second show of its “Life Burns Faster” residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Saturday, performing 16 songs and repeating none from night one. Consequence reported that the band also presented different visuals for the show, giving fans attending both nights a distinct program.
The concert opened with “Blackened,” which Consequence identified as the song’s first time opening a Metallica show since August 9, 2014. The set also brought back “Devil’s Dance” from 1997’s ReLoad, which the report said had not been performed since June 7, 2008, and “The Outlaw Torn” from 1996’s Load, last played on September 8, 2019, according to the outlet.
The 16-song performance moved between newer material, deep catalog selections and familiar favorites. The set included “72 Seasons,” “King Nothing,” “Welcome Home (Sanitarium),” “The Unforgiven,” “Orion,” “Hardwired” and the traditional cover “Whiskey in the Jar.” It also featured “Fuel,” “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “One,” before closing with “Enter Sandman.”
Consequence’s report includes photos and video from the show as well as the setlist. It says the visual presentation differed from the first night, but the supplied report does not describe specific imagery or production details. The song list and reported performance dates provide a clearer record of what changed between the two concerts.
A Two-Night Setlist Without Repeats
For fans attending both Sphere shows, the no-repeat approach meant night two was not simply a second performance of the opening night’s program. The distinct setlist and visuals made the two concerts separate experiences within the same residency, while the mix of familiar hits and older selections offered different reasons for longtime listeners to follow both dates.
The returns of “Devil’s Dance” and “The Outlaw Torn” are especially notable as setlist developments because the report gives dates for their previous performances. Those long gaps do not establish why the band chose the songs or whether they will stay in rotation. They do show that the second-night set reached beyond the group’s most frequently cited hits, while still including well-known songs such as “One” and “Enter Sandman.”
The Sphere’s large-scale visual environment is part of the concert’s appeal, but the available account offers only a broad comparison between nights. The reported visual change matters to the event’s presentation, though details about how the effects differed are not supplied here.

The Residency and Tour Ahead
The Saturday concert was the second date in Metallica’s “Life Burns Faster” Sphere residency. Consequence reported that the band had promised not to repeat songs from night one, and the second show followed through with a separate 16-song selection. The report does not provide night one’s full setlist, so the exact song-by-song contrast cannot be independently laid out from the supplied material.
The Sphere engagement is one part of Metallica’s live schedule. The report says the band is also set to begin a new North American leg of its long-running “M72 World Tour” next year. It does not provide dates, cities or other particulars for that leg. The residency and touring plans therefore represent distinct live developments, with the Sphere shows offering a venue-specific presentation and the announced tour extending the band’s schedule beyond Las Vegas.
““As promised,” Metallica repeated no songs from night one.”

Visual Details and Tour Dates Pending
The supplied report confirms that the visuals differed from night one, but does not specify what appeared on Sphere’s screens, how the production changed, or whether the variations were tied to particular songs. It also does not provide the first night’s full setlist, limiting a detailed comparison beyond the report’s statement that no songs were repeated.
The source identifies the Saturday performance and lists all 16 songs, but does not provide attendance figures, the residency’s full schedule or information about future setlists. The timing and locations for next year’s North American M72 World Tour leg are also not included. Those details should not be inferred from the announcement that another leg is planned.
