Sphere Announces Rest of the Year Lineup, Including Anyma for New Year’s Eve, the Eagles, and More
The Las Vegas Sphere, which has become a true Vegas landmark in its own right, has just announced its lineup all the way to December 31st, where it steps up and goes tech with Electronic Dance Music artist, Anyma. But the lineup also includes an extension of the Eagles' residency as well as other musical acts and celebrities like Barry Manilow and Kevin Hart, who are headlining shows at Westgate's International Theater and Resorts World, promising a fantastic year of shows in Sin City.
The Las Vegas Sphere, renowned for its cutting-edge technology, is set to host its first electronic dance music (otherwise referred to as EDM) performance on New Year's Eve. Anyma, also known as the Italian producer Matteo Milleri and one half of Tale of Us, the dance duo, will be the pioneering EDM artist to take the stage in this revolutionary venue.
The booking is a natural fit for the Sphere, which boasts unparalleled audiovisual technology, and for Las Vegas, a city that has become synonymous with the EDM scene. Thanks to events like the Electric Daisy Carnival along with a year-round lineup of club residencies, Vegas has cemented its reputation as the world's EDM capital.
Anyma made the announcement for his "The End of Genesys" show with a striking 3D video featuring a giant 3D robot jumping out of the LED screen of the Sphere. "I'm honored to be the first electronic artist to play the Sphere," he said. He also added that they are already months into the development of the NYE show and he can't wait to unveil the show to everyone who will watch.
The tickets for this landmark event will be available starting the 23rd of July at 9 am Pacific Time through Livenationentertainment.com, with a presale set for the 22nd of July.
Eagles extend residency with additional shows
In contrast to the high-tech spectacle planned for New Year's Eve, the Sphere continues to host more traditional acts. The Eagles, who initially announced eight shows, have expanded their residency to a total of 20 performances with the addition of four extra dates in January.
The updated schedule for The Eagles at the Sphere is as follows:
September 20-21, September 27-28, October 11-12, October 18-19, November 1-2, November 8-9, December 6-7, December 13-14, January 17-18, and January 24-25.
James Dolan, the owner of the Sphere, humorously remarked at an event last July 4 that the band is welcome to perform as many dates as they wish - until, that is, they fight and break up once again. Tickets for the new dates will go on sale at 9 am PT on Friday, the 26th of July, at Eagles.com.
Kevin Hart's star-studded Labor Day weekend
In the meantime, Kevin Hart is gearing up for a spectacular Labor Day Weekend with "Kevin Hart's Hartbeat Weekend" at Resorts World. The four-day extravaganza will feature comedy shows (of course), music performances, a celebrity poker tournament, and daytime and nighttime parties.
Hart will be joined by musical heavyweights Ludacris and Lil Wayne, who will both headline the afterparties at the Zouk Nightclub on August 31 and September 1. Tickets for these events are currently on sale.
Barry Manilow sets record and continues at Westgate
Last September, Barry Manilow surpassed Elvis Presley's record of 636 performances at the Westgate's International Theater, becoming the new king with over 636 shows under his belt. But Manilow shows no signs of slowing down, having booked himself for another full year of performances.
His new schedule will run from Thursdays to Saturdays from the 13th to 15th of February through the 11th to 13th of December, with a break in July. Tickets for Manilow's shows will go on sale on the 10th of July at 10 am PT through WestgateResorts.com.
It looks like it will be a busy year for Las Vegas with its diverse lineup of shows. But it's all too true: with its blend of high-tech marvels and classic acts, the Las Vegas Sphere continues to solidify its status as a premier destination for unique and unforgettable entertainment experiences.
