Last Fourth of July marked the spectacular awakening of the Sphere above the Las Vegas Strip with a dazzling display of lights and a simple message, "hello world." Boasting the capability to showcase over 1 billion colors on its outer skin with 1.2 million LED puck lights, the $2.3 billion venue quickly became a social media sensation even before officially opening its doors on Sept. 29. With residencies by U2, Phish, and Dead & Company, the Sphere continues to push boundaries in live music entertainment through innovative technology. As the Sphere celebrates its one-year anniversary, it will unveil the XO Stream, a 24/7 livestream of its exosphere, matched with the debut of XO Audio, adding synchronized sound to its mesmerizing visuals. Executive Jennifer Koester emphasizes the venue's commitment to art and science, ensuring a unique and dynamic experience for visitors amid the vibrant energy of Las Vegas.
