Phish's Unique Four-Night Run at the Technologically Advanced Sphere in Las Vegas: A Musical and Visual Experience

Phish, the renowned Vermont jam band, is known for their unique and once-in-a-lifetime live performances. They are famous for never repeating setlists and drawing deeply from their extensive catalog of over 300 original songs plus countless covers. In April 2024, Phish embarked on a four-night run at the Sphere, a $2.3 billion venue in Las Vegas that was previously used by U2 for their residency.

It features a 160,000-square foot 16K-by-16K LED screen and a state-of-the-art speakers system with 3D audio beamforming and wave field synthesis technology. Phish collaborated with Montreal-based entertainment studio Moment Factory to create custom visuals for the shows, ensuring that each night offers a unique experience.

Phish fans were eager to attend these exclusive performances, and all four shows sold out within minutes. The band chose not to repeat the same show twice but instead aimed to create four distinct musical and visual experiences.

The Sphere's technology was used in a way that complemented Phish's music rather than distracting from it. Co-creative director Abigail Rosen Holmes wanted to keep the focus on Phish and their improvisational style, which is a hallmark of their live shows. Moment Factory had to create content that was flexible enough to adapt to Phish's long jams and spontaneous performances.

Phish fans who couldn't attend the shows in person could livestream them on the band's website or listen to them on SiriusXM. The first night of the run featured a stacked setlist, including
