Huge rock band signs for longer Las Vegas Strip Sphere residency

Sphere Entertainment's Sphere Las Vegas debuted with star rock band U2's Forty-show U2/UV Achtung Baby Reside at the Sphere residency in September 2023 and brought the first of many spectacular technological presentations to the fresh venue's stage.

The Sphere continued to book star entertainers within the 18,600-seat venue, that allows you to hold a 20,000 standing capacity, after U2 completed its residency. The Sphere welcomed jam band Phish for a brief engagement with four shows in April, and followed those shows with Grateful Dead spinoff band Dead & Company, which scheduled 30 shows at the Las Vegas Sphere from May sixteen through Aug. 10, 2024.

U2 will likely record more music and embark on more concert tours, but the success of its Sphere residency is more likely to prompt the band to sign on for another residency within the next couple of years.

Phish continues touring and has booked a four-night New Year's Eve holiday engagement Dec. 28-31, 2024, at New York's Madison Square Garden. A ticket request period ends Oct. 7, Noon, Eastern time at Phish.com. Do not be surprised if Phish in due course plays another limited engagement at the Sphere.

Dead & Company completed its final concert tour at Oracle Park in San Francisco on July sixteen, 2023, and is now not expected to tour again, but a return to the Sphere after a a success 30-show residency is expected by many.

The Eagles, which has been performing farewell tours since its "Farewell 1 Tour" in 2003, said it wrapped up its touring career with a show on its "Long Goodbye" tour within the Netherlands on June 15, 2024.

The band's fans have heard in regards to the band's touring retirement plans for over two decades and quite various are skeptical about whether the band is now not touring.

Fans have good reason to question whether the band will ever in point of fact retire, because the band's late singer/guitarist Glenn Frey rejected the notion that they were retiring on Farewell 1, at some point of a 2005 show in Sacramento, by saying, "Within the event it's possible you will be payin', we're playin'."
