Grab your devil horns and crank it to 11 — Metallica’s Lars Ulrich just lit a fire under the rock rumor mill! In a recent August 2025 interview, the founding drummer didn’t hold back when asked about whispers of a towering Metallica spectacle at Las Vegas’ futuristic Sphere venue or even a coveted slot at the next Super Bowl halftime show. His response? A resounding and uncensored “F— yeah.” That’s the kind of fuel fans crave.

The Sphere, which has quickly become the holy grail of concert stages with its mind-blowing visuals and acoustics tailor-made for megastars, seems like a natural fit for Metallica’s arena-dominating sound and spectacle. And as one of the few rock bands still capable of selling out stadiums worldwide, a Super Bowl halftime performance would be a thunderous triumph for rock ‘n’ roll — and a long-overdue one, at that.

While there’s no steel-clad confirmation yet, Ulrich’s unfiltered enthusiasm hints that talks might be more than just industry gossip. Fans should keep their eyes peeled and ears tuned — because if Metallica storms the Sphere or the Bowl, it’s going to be nothing short of a sonic earthquake. Stay heavy, friends!
