On Tuesday (October 15), Sphere Entertainment Co. announced the location of its second Sphere entertainment venue will be in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi’s Sphere will be a 20,000-capacity venue that will feature the same technological advancements as the original Las Vegas Sphere, which opened in 2022 with a celebrated residency by U2. The Abu Dhabi Sphere plans to host concerts and other special events year-round, much like the Las Vegas Sphere, which has featured high-profile shows by Phish, Dead & Company, and the Eagles.

Sphere Entertainment Co. originally planned to open their second venue in London, but mayor Sadiq Khan shot down those plans due to high energy concerns and the “significant light intrusion” it would bring to the city. “The vision for Sphere has always included a global network of venues, and today’s announcement is a significant milestone toward that goal,” said James L. Dolan, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Sphere Entertainment. “We are proud to collaborate with DCT Abu Dhabi to develop Sphere in their city.” (Consequence of Sound)
