The Sphere, which debuted this past September, kicked-off with a residency from the rockers of U2. The band extended the residency, dubbed “U2: UV Achtung Baby,” through February 2024. While the Sphere has not announced any further concerts at this time for 2024, the venue plans to host a UFC match, marking its first venture into the sports industry.
It’s also fully embracing the holiday spirit; the Sphere announced this week that it will display the Radio City Rockettes across the LED exterior of the Sphere every day this holiday season, showcasing the longest-running precision dance company in America.
This is the latest news for Phish, who previously announced that they’re bringing their bluegrass-psychedelic rock tunes to The Woodlands in Dover, Delaware next August for their 11th music festival. They’re also slated to round-out 2023 with a four-night run at New York City’s Madison Square Garden from December 28 to 31.
