Two days after announcing that Anyma will be the first electronic music act to play the Sphere in Las Vegas, the artist and venue have added two additional shows to the lineup.
In addition to the previously announced December 31st show, Anyma will now also play Sphere on December 29-30. Ticket prices for the new events will be the same as the NYE show, with the general going on sale from July 23rd and a pre-sale taking place on July 22nd.
The expansion of this Sphere series is credited to “overwhelming demand” by series promoter Live Nation. Since the concert production elements are tailored for the tech promotion space, more dates are also likely to increase the ROI for the parties involved.
Anyma, whose sound focuses on melodic techno, consists of Italian producer Matteo Milleri, who is also one half of the electronic duo Tale of Us. The Sphere show will find Anyma bringing his Genesys show to Las Vegas, marking the last times this show will be held. The show officially has a title Afterlife Presents Anyma: The End of Genesys and unannounced special guests will also appear.
Named for Anyma's 2023 debut album, Genesys and the continuation of 2024 Genesis II, the Genesys show has performed for tens of thousands of people at venues in Asia, Europe, South America and beyond. The albums, like the corresponding visual performance, explore themes of technology, nature, humanity and coexistence. Afterlife is the record label founded by Tale Of Us in 2016. Both Tale Of Us and Anyma have gained global fame for their visual-focused production that explores themes such as evolution and consciousness.
With a lineup headlined by Tale Of US, both of Afterlife's showcases at Los Angeles State Historic Park last October were sold out. Last summer, Afterlife partnered with Interscope Records for a deal under which Interscope will distribute all Afterlife releases, including all past and future recordings.
While Las Vegas is a long-standing hub for electronic music in the US, since opening in September 2023, the Sphere has not, until now, featured the genre, focusing on rock with U2 open spaces, along with jam bands through residencies from Phish and Dead & Company. . Classic rock will also be brought to the venue this fall with a residency from the Eagles.
In May, Sphere's parent company, Sphere Entertainment Co, reported that the venue generated $170.4 million in revenue in the fiscal third quarter ended March 31. Opened to much fanfare last September, the venue cost $2.3 billion to build.
