A New Era of Live Entertainment at the Las Vegas Sphere
Since its debut in September 2023, the Las Vegas Sphere has redefined the live entertainment experience. Located near the Venetian Resort and Wynn Las Vegas, this 17,600-capacity venue has become a hub for major residencies from artists like Phish, Dead & Company, and the Eagles. The Eagles continue to perform there, drawing massive crowds with their timeless hits.
The Sphere is not just a venue for live music; it also showcases film experiences that take advantage of its advanced technology. “Postcard from Earth,” directed by Darren Aronofsky, and U2’s gripping concert movie “V-U2” are among the films playing almost daily. Additionally, the Sphere is preparing two more projects: an immersive version of “The Wizard of Oz” set to open on August 28, and “From the Edge,” a 2026 project exploring extreme sports with athletes like Alex Honnold and Kai Lenny.
