Sphere has broken new ground in live entertainment in Las Vegas in the last six months, hosting its first professional sports competition with UFC Riyadh Season Noche in September, then adding Anyma to its roster of residencies for the venue’s first electronic dance music event around New Year’s Eve.
Now it brings another something new to the Strip: An unprecedented partnership between Insomniac, producer of the Electric Daisy Carnival and other festivals and events, and the iconic European dance fest Tomorrowland will generate Unity, debuting at Sphere on August 29, 30 and 31—Labor Day weekend.
Early access to ticket and accommodation packages via destination experience company Vibee begins March 27 at 10 a.m. at unity.vibee.com. Presale tickets through Insomniac and Tomorrowland are available starting March 31 at 10 a.m. with the general on-sale starting April 7. For more information, visit unityxsphere.com.
Unity is billed as “a multi-sensory celebration of music and mind-altering visuals,” taking advantage of Sphere’s next-generation technology, advanced audio system and world’s highest resolution LED display. The music will include “a dynamic selection of tracks curated from the rich history of dance music, with the addition of an orchestra and electronic instrumentation that brings this journey to life,” according to the website. “Every Unity show will conclude with a breathtaking crescendo, with world-renowned artists joining us for a final closing set— the special guest for each show date will be announced closer to the event.”
A statement from the producers reads: “Through the past decades, we both have strived to create festivals and experiences around the world that foster beautiful, unique communities of individuals. Music is our universal language, the dance floor our sanctuary, and every one of you, our family. We can’t thank you enough for being such an integral part of the journey with us. Now, for the first time in history, our worlds become one. In UNITY, we join together to create a brand-new experience that harnesses the magic, love, and awe-inspiring moments within our events—and there’s no better stage on earth than Sphere.”
