Metallica has partnered with Apple to release an immersive concert video for the Apple Vision Pro headset.
The 25-minute video features performances of “Whiplash,” “One,” and “Enter Sandman” from their Mexico City show.
The experience combines concert footage with documentary elements, offering fans a unique perspective.
A key highlight is a moment where James Hetfield intensely interacts with a fan.
The full experience is exclusive to Vision Pro users, but previews are available at Apple stores worldwide.
Metallica will also release an EP, Metallica Live From Mexico City, on Apple Music.
