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.

Every time a band takes the stage at the Sphere, it seems like they blow the lid off the place – literally.
When the robot smashes the screen around :10.
And this time is no exception. The Vegas Orb kicked off its first-ever electronic act in spectacular fashion.
The audiovisual experience – called “The End of Genesys” – is the brainchild of Anyma – a.k.a. Italian producer Matteo Milleri.
He’s known as one half of the electronic duo “Tale of Us” and launched the Anyma project in 2021.
The highly anticipated residency – originally planned for six nights but extended to eight after an “astonishing sell-out” – kicked off on December 27th. For context – the Sphere boasts a seating capacity of 18,600 and can hold up to 20,000 people with standing room.
The Sphere has been a technological marvel redefining entertainment venues since opening last year. Inside – a 160,000 square foot LED screen offers a completely immersive viewing experience.
And let’s not forget the exterior – 580,000 square feet of LEDs so bright, the venue says it can be seen from space. With Anyma’s technology-driven production – the Sphere is the perfect canvas for the show.
Drawing from Anyma’s debut album “Genesys,” the Sphere performance explores themes of technological evolution and humanity. Special guest performances are also a part of the experience.
On night three – Anyma brought out singer Ellie Goulding and delighted fans with a surprise performance with FKA twigs.
Since its debut, the Sphere has hosted residencies from bands like U2, Dead and Company, and Phish – mainly focusing on rock genres.
The Eagles also began a residency this fall – which is scheduled to run through April 2025.
According to Billboard – the venue has also shown strong financial performances. The venue – which cost more than $2 billion to build – generated $170.4 million in revenue in its fiscal third quarter.
With its unique technology and immersive experiences, the Sphere continues to impress audiences as it redefines live entertainment.
