The Sphere has been under-scheduled since it opened in September 2023, but we’re hearing The Weeknd, nee Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, will announce a new residency at the eye-catching venue soon.<\/p>\n

U2 recently ended its residency at The Sphere, and the New York Post says The Eagles will follow in their footsteps. We’ve also been told Beyonce is set for a Sphere residency, but it hasn’t been announced yet, either.<\/p>\n

We’ve heard about The Weeknd’s Las Vegas residency from multiple reliable sources.<\/p>\n

Weeknd should schedule his shows on weekdays. Oh, how we’ll laugh and laugh.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

U2 had a successful and buzzworthy run at Sphere at Venetian, but the venue only got 10% of ticket sales, so it’s hard to say if they’re making any headway toward paying off the $2.3 billion it took to build the high-tech theater.<\/p>\n

The Sphere’s movie, Darren Aronofsky’s “Postcard from Earth,” has proven surprisingly popular, with one longtime Vegas show producer saying, “There’s nobody coming to Vegas right now who isn’t seeing that movie in The Sphere.” Tickets are in the $100 range for the 50-minute film, basically an IMAX nature film. Which we should probably see so we aren’t ridiculing something before we know what we’re actually talking about. There’s a first time for everything.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, Weeknd at The Sphere!<\/p>\n
