From May 4, 2026 to May 22, 2026, listen to KISM each weekday from 6:00am to 6:00pm for the May-tallica contest keyword(s).
Once you hear a keyword, go to KISM.com to the May-tallica contest page. Complete the registration, including the correct contest keyword, for the chance to win a trip to see Metallica at Sphere in Las Vegas on 10/8/26 (ARV: $3000, final price will vary based upon airport, time of flights and other factors.)
Listeners will have until the end of the day (11:59pm) to enter the 3 keywords before they expire. One entry per person, per keyword, per station in Washington, per day for a total of three entries per day. There will be a possibility of 45 entries during the duration of the contest.
The prize is: Roundtrip airfare for 2 from closest major airport from the winner’s hometown to Las Vegas on or about 10/7/26, returning on or about 10/9/26; Hotel for 2 nights (10/7/26 and 10/8/26); and 2 tickets to Metallica at Sphere on 10/8/26 (ARV: $3000, final price will vary based upon airport, time of flights and other factors.) Any expenses incurred at the hotel, such as meals, movie rental, room service, etc., will be the responsibility of the winner.
One winner will be randomly chosen from all eligible entrants on 5/26/26 and notified by phone and email. The phone number from the chosen entry will be called and the reaction recorded for broadcast after receiving the winner’s permission to record and broadcast the conversation. If the chosen entrant is notified by email, voicemail, or other answering device, he or she will have 24 hours from the time we contact them to respond. If the chosen entrant does not contact us back within the time limit, he or she will be disqualified, and another winner will be randomly chosen from all eligible entrants. This process will continue until a winner is identified. There will be 1 winner. The winner will receive the prize in October 2026, prior to the date of the concert.
