Apple is launching an immersive concert experience featuring Metallica, exclusively for the Apple Vision Pro, on Friday, March 14. This format, captured in Apple Immersive Video, places viewers directly within the band's sold-out Mexico City performance from their M72 World Tour. The experience features iconic Metallica tracks like Whiplash, One, and Enter Sandman, presented in ultra-high-resolution 180-degree video and Spatial Audio.

The concert experience allows viewers to experience the show from various vantage points, including close-ups from the Snake Pit and wide-angle views of the band's dynamic stage presence. Apple utilized a custom stage setup with 14 Apple Immersive Video cameras, including stabilized, cable-suspended, and remote-controlled systems, to capture the band's performance and the energy of the 65,000-strong crowd.  

Apple is offering customers the opportunity to preview the Metallica experience at Apple Store locations through Apple Vision Pro demos. Additionally, a companion EP, M72 World Tour: Mexico City, will be available in Spatial Audio on Apple Music. Lars Ulrich also discussed the experience with Zane Lowe of Apple Music at SXSW 2025, with their full conversation available on the SXSW YouTube channel.
