Abu Dhabi Expansion
The Las Vegas Sphere, which stands 366 feet tall and 516 feet wide, is the world’s largest spherical structure, renowned for its wraparound LED screen and 20,000-seat capacity. Since its opening, it has generated over $1 billion in revenue, setting new benchmarks for live events.
The Abu Dhabi Sphere will mirror the size and technological innovation of its Vegas counterpart, offering a similarly unmatched entertainment experience.
CEO Comments
“The vision for Sphere has always been international, and this partnership marks a major step in that journey,” said James L. Dolan, CEO of Sphere Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Abu Dhabi in creating a landmark that will redefine live entertainment in the region.”
MSG Sphere London
This international expansion follows news that a proposed London venue was blocked due to local government concerns. Abu Dhabi has eagerly embraced the project, securing its position as a global hub for cutting-edge entertainment.
In other Sphere news, Anyma has been confirmed as the first electronic music headliner at the Las Vegas Sphere, with his “The End of Genesys” show series running from December 27th to January 11th.
