The Sphere will hit an EDM beat for New Year's Eve show with Anyma in Vegas debut

The Sphere will kick off 2025 with a new beat.

The EDM-focused Afterlife presents Anyma "The End of Genesys" will be the first electronic music act at the technologically unique venue in Las Vegas, as well as its first New Year's Eve performance. It is also Anyma's inaugural play in Vegas.

Anyma – aka Matteo Milleri – is known in the techno genre for his dynamic audiovisual production, which seems an ideal match for the venue that has hosted awe-inspiring residencies from U2, Phish, Dead & Company and, starting in September, the Eagles.

What is the Sphere?

The Sphere, which opened in September 2023, is equipped with the world’s highest-resolution LED display - in the form of a 160,000-square-foot wraparound screen - and Sphere Immersive Sound.

The venue holds about 20,000 for live performances. Given its massive footprint - the size of two city blocks and taller than a football field is long, the Sphere is immediately noticable on the Vegas skyline as the rotund counter to its towering neighbors The Venetian and Wynn Las Vegas.
