Las Vegas has long been the EDM capital of America, with its massive Electric Daisy Carnival and a year-round circuit of resort mega-club residencies. Later this year, dance music will get its first crack at the city’s most extravagant new venue, Sphere.

Anyma, the EDM producer and audio-visual experimentalist, will take over the venue on New Year’s Eve for 2024. The artist just performed at Coachella, both alongside Eric Prydz on the new Quasar stage and in a collaboration with Grimes on the striking visuals during his own set (Grimes has posted very affectionate pictures of the two).

This year, the Italian artist — one half of the groundbreaking dance duo Tale of Us and co-founder of the Interscope imprint Afterlife Records — released “Genesys II,” a compilation of new singles and remixes following his 2023 debut LP.

This set will be the first occasion in which Sphere will mesh with the city’s dominant EDM-driven nightlife industry, where the artist (born Matteo Milleri) will have ample room to indulge his cosmic sci-fi aesthetic with visual art collaborators Alessio De Vecchi, Tobias Gremmler and Alexander Wessely.

With recent residencies by jam bands Phish and Dead & Company, alongside an eye-popping debut from U2 and a planned residency from the Eagles, Sphere had already established itself as the definitive place to see veteran rock bands in a whole new light. Anyma’s set will be a showcase for what the venue is capable of in a more contemporary context.
