LAS VEGAS – On Feb. 2, one day after FOH received a press release about a residency featuring Dead & Company, Sphere Entertainment Co. announced additional dates for the Dead Forever – Live at Sphere residency at the unique venue, with concerts set for three nights a week from May 16 through July 13 with 24 shows in all. Tickets for the residency, starting at $145, are available via artist presale on Feb. 5 and general on-sale from Feb. 9.
Other residencies at Sphere include the ongoing U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere, the venue’s inaugural live-performance run with 40 concerts scheduled from Sept. 29, 2023 through March 2, 2024, and Phish, with four shows set for April 18-21. While U2’s shows have been adhering, more or less, to a setlist, both Phish and Dead & Company have indicated that the sequence of songs will be more free form, different on each night.
