Apple Music and Metallica have announced that Metallica, a new Apple Immersive concert experience, will be available on Apple Vision Pro beginning Friday, March 14th.
Drummer Lars Ulrich joined Apple Music host Zane Lowe at South By Southwest to discuss the collaborative release.
The movie, filmed during Metallica's final M72 stop of 2024 in Mexico City, features performances of "Whiplash," "One," and "Enter Sandman," all captured exclusively in Apple Immersive Video.
The project, which was made using ultra-high-resolution 180-degree video and Spatial Audio, will give fans unprecedented access from vantage points as close up as the Snake Pit to wide-angle views.
In order to raise the live event to a new level, Apple reportedly built a custom stage plot featuring 14 Apple Immersive Video cameras using a mix of stabilized cameras, cable-suspended cameras, and remote-controlled camera dolly systems that moved around the stage.
"With Metallica on Apple Vision Pro, you feel like you're right there: front row, backstage, and even on stage with one of the biggest bands of all time," said Tor Myhren, vice president of marketing communications at Apple.
The songs featured in Metallica will also be available as a new EP, Metallica Live from Mexico City, in Spatial Audio on Apple Music on Friday, March 14th.
