The film begins streaming on March 14th
Apple Music and Metallica announce Metallica, an Apple Immersive concert experience, available for free only on Apple Vision Pro starting March 14th. Filmed during the band’s final M72 stop of 2024 in Mexico City, it features full performances of “Whiplash,” “One,” and “Enter Sandman,” all captured exclusively in Apple Immersive Video.
This project marks a new foray into immersive technology, using ultra-high-resolution 180-degree video and Spatial Audio to give fans unprecedented access from vantage points as close up as the Snake Pit to wide-angle views. It brings the live show to a whole new level, and to achieve this, Apple 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.
The songs featured in Metallica will also be available as a new EP, Metallica Live from Mexico City, in Spatial Audio on Apple Music this Friday.
An extended preview of Metallica will be available as part of the Apple Vision Pro demo in Apple Store locations worldwide beginning Friday, March 14th. Apple Vision Pro is available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Customers in those countries can reserve a free Vision Pro demo at their local Apple Store.
Also, today (Tues, Mar 11th) at South By Southwest, drummer Lars Ulrich joined Apple Music host Zane Lowe to discuss the collaborative release.
