Set to debut on March 14, 2025, this exclusive Apple Immersive Video captures the raw energy of Metallica's sold-out M72 World Tour finale in Mexico City, spotlighting full performances of three iconic tracks—"Whiplash," "One," and "Enter Sandman." For tech enthusiasts and music lovers alike, it's a front-row ticket to a concert like no other, delivered through the cutting-edge spatial computing of the Apple Vision Pro headset.
Filmed with a custom stage setup boasting 14 Apple Immersive Video cameras, this production leverages ultra-high-resolution 180-degree visuals and Spatial Audio to plunge viewers into the heart of the action. From the famed Snake Pit—a prime spot amid the band's in-the-round stage-to sweeping wide-angle views, the experience offers unparalleled access to James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo. Apple reports over 65,000 fans fueled the Mexico City show's electric atmosphere, a vibe now bottled for Vision Pro users to relive at home or preview at Apple Stores starting March 14.
This isn't just a concert film-it's a leap in storytelling, blending Metallica's boundary-pushing legacy with Apple's tech prowess. Available free via the Apple TV app on Vision Pro, it's a taste of how immersive media can transform entertainment, making it a must-try for anyone with the $3,499 headset or a demo booking. Alongside it, a new EP, M72 World Tour: Mexico City, lands on Apple Music in Spatial Audio, syncing the audio thrill with the visual spectacle.
