Anyma NYE Performance Confirmed as Vegas Sphere’s First-Ever Electronic Music Show

Back in September, we published a list of electronic music artists who simply must perform at the Vegas Sphere. One of them, Anyma, will soon become the first.

The superstar Italian DJ, who also co-founded the barnstorming Afterlife label and touring brand, yesterday shared a cryptic teaser of a performance at the $2.3 billion venue. In it, he stares down a humanoid robot as he stands in a barren desert with a structure in the distance resembling the colossal Sphere.

The rare concert has now been confirmed by Sphere Entertainment, the venue's proprietors. It will be the first electronic music show at the record-breaking Sphere, the world's largest spherical structure, which will host Anyma for a performance on December 31st. That means he's set to become the first EDM artist to perform in the Sphere's arena after residencies featuring a quartet of legendary rock bands: U2, Phish, Dead & Company and The Eagles.

The Sphere's inner sanctum projects mind-boggling graphics on the world's largest- and highest-resolution wraparound LED screen, which wraps over and behind the crowd. To that end, the venue presents a mouthwatering experience for fans of Anyma, whose live shows have become a touchstone for immersive visual production within the electronic dance music community.

Anyma's esteemed Visual Director, Alessio De Vecchi, was named EDM.com's best visual artist of 2023 for his haunting, transhumanist approach to design.

Those visuals will be the focal point of the show inside the Sphere, which has enough cutting-edge tech specs to make James Cameron's Avatar look like a flip-book animation. Its LED media plane spans 160,000 square feet—equivalent to four football fields—and uses puzzling scientific theorems to "direct sound like laser beams" across the audience bowl. The multi-sensory venue also has an immersive infrasound seating system rigged with haptics that transmit 4D wind effects and bass to your chair and feet.

The NYE concert is billed as "The End of Genesys," a reference to Anyma's audiovisual brand and tour of the same name. His stunning debut album, which released in March, also shares the "Genesys" title.

"The inclusion of special guests will highlight the concluding performance of 'Genesys,' according to Sphere Entertainment.

Presale registration for tickets to the show is available now. The pre-sale will begin on Monday, July 22nd at 9am PT before the general on-sale the following day at the same time.
