A new “Apple Immersive concert experience” is coming to Apple Vision Pro users. On Friday, Apple will release “Metallica,” featuring 180-degree Immersive Video footage shot in Mexico City as part of Metallica’s M72 World Tour.
The concert film will feature full performances of three Metallica songs: “Whiplash,” “One,” and “Enter Sandman.” Apple says Vision Pro users should expect “unprecedented access to James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo — from vantage points as close up as the famed Snake Pit, to wide-angle views of the band’s energetic performance in the round.”
To record the Metallica concert, Apple says it built a “custom stage layout featuring 14 Apple Immersive Video cameras” with a mix of stabilized cameras, cable-suspended cameras, and remote-controlled camera dolly systems that moved around the stage.
“Apple Immersive Video transforms the way people experience storytelling, and we’re thrilled to collaborate with Metallica on a concert unlike any before it” said Tor Myhren, Apple’s vice president of Marketing Communications. “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.”
“Metallica” will be available for free for Apple Vision Pro users on Friday, March 14 in the TV app. Apple also touts other new Immersive Video content coming to Apple Vision Pro, including new episodes of the “Adventure” and “Boundless” shows, plus the previously-announced “VIP: Yankee Stadium” tour and “Bono: Stories of Surrender.”
