Kirk Hammett is down to rock the Sphere.
The Metallica guitarist tells The Hollywood Reporter that he'd be interested in the metal legends headlining the high-tech Las Vegas venue.
"Oh, heck, yeah!" Hammett says. "That's a great example of how venues are changing. That's using modern technology to the fullest, to really up the levels of production and entertainment, connected to AI and making it a crazy experience."
The Sphere, which opened in 2023, boasts a state-of-the-art 160,000-square-foot wraparound LED screen. So far, Sphere performers have included U2, Phish, Eagles and Dead & Company.
In 2024, bassist Robert Trujillo was asked in an interview about the possibility of Metallica playing the Sphere, to which he responded, "You'd have to ask [drummer] Lars [Ulrich] that question!"
You can catch Metallica in non-Sphere venues on their current North American tour, which continues Thursday in Toronto.
