The Las Vegas Sphere is making headlines once again. This time, for hosting its first-ever electronic act with the debut of Anyma’s audio-visual show, “The End of Genesys.”
Anyma, the artistic project from Italian producer Matteo Milleri, premiered “The End of Genesys” at the Sphere on Dec. 27. Having kicked off his career as half of the electronic duo “Tale of Us,” Milleri launched Anyma in 2021, blending music and technology to create immersive experiences.

The residency, initially slated for six nights, was extended to eight due to high demand. With a seating capacity of 18,600 and standing room for up to 20,000, the Sphere provided the perfect backdrop for the show.
Since opening last year, the Sphere has redefined entertainment venues thanks to its unprecedented technological advancements. Inside, a 160,000-square-foot LED screen delivers a fully immersive viewing experience. The exterior also boasts 580,000 square feet of LEDs bright enough to see from space.
According to the venue, Anyma’s technology-driven production perfectly complements Sphere’s cutting-edge features.
Themes of evolution and surprise guests
The performance draws inspiration from Anyma’s debut album, “Genesys,” exploring themes of technological evolution and humanity. Fans have been treated to special guest appearances, including Ellie Goulding and FKA Twigs, during the third night of the residency.
Financial success of Sphere
Sphere, which cost over $2 billion to construct, has shown a strong financial performance. According to Billboard, the venue generated $170.4 million in revenue during its fiscal third quarter.
While primarily known for hosting rock residencies such as U2, Dead and Company, and Phish, the Sphere is expanding its repertoire with shows like Anyma’s. However, the Sphere largely represents the rock genre, as The Eagles began their residency this fall, with shows through April 2025.
