Between stunning visuals and immersive sound, the new arena promises to revolutionize live entertainment, critics say
In a spectacle of light and sound, the city of Las Vegas (USA), already famous for its vibrant nightlife and dazzling shows, has just received a major addition. The inauguration of The Sphere, the “Giant Sphere of Las Vegas”, is causing great repercussions among fans and international critics. The new arena, which promises to “revolutionize the live concert experience,” as Billboard puts it, opened with a memorable performance from the band U2, and the reactions couldn’t be more positive.

International critics have also spoken highly of the show and the impact that The Sphere promises to have on the world of live entertainment. The Verge highlighted the arena structure, covered in over a million LEDs, offering an unprecedented viewing experience. DW and Euronews also highlighted the advanced technology and substantial investments in the construction of the arena, which cost $2.3 billion (about R$11.6 billion).
Billboard’s outlook on The Sphere is equally positive. The publication highlights the arena’s colossal size, large enough to house the Statue of Liberty, making it the largest spherical structure in the world. The capacity to host 20,000 people and the staging of 25 U2 shows are highlighted, reinforcing the belief that The Sphere will change live entertainment forever. At 111 meters tall and 157 meters wide, critics point to The Sphere as a new landmark in Las Vegas, attracting fans and artists from around the world.
