The final show airs live on Phish Radio
SiriusXM’s Phish Radio, channel 29, will broadcast all four of Phish’s Sphere shows from Las Vegas this weekend. The Sphere Weekend in Las Vegas event runs through Sunday, April 21st. It features four days of artist appearances, complete concerts, live audience pre-show events, and exclusive specials in celebration of the band’s four back-to-back shows at the Sphere.
Phish’s concerts at the Sphere air exclusively on Phish Radio the next day at noon ET — with the final show airing live on April 21st — and Phish Radio hosts reveal their top three moments from each show at 7 pm ET. Fans can also hear historical concert broadcasts, audio from Trey Anastasio’s SiriusXM studio visit, Phish Radio’s listener event at the Brooklyn Bowl, and more.
As Phish fans well know, in their 40 years of being a band, Phish has never played the same show twice. Each of Phish’s shows at Sphere will feature unique setlists and visuals, making every show a truly once-in-a-lifetime audio-visual experience. These shows mark the beginning of a new relationship between Phish and Sphere, but they will be the only shows Phish will perform at the venue in 2024.
Phish is only the second band to perform at the world-famous venue. U2 opened Sphere in September 2023 with their highly-anticipated U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere. Dates are scheduled through February with the band providing fans with a fully immersive experience featuring top-of-the-line technology, celebrating the band’s acclaimed 1991 album Achtung Baby, as well as its accompanying industry-defining Zoo TV Tour which broke the mold in 1991.
The groundbreaking Sphere features next-generation Sphere Immersive Sound, powered by HoloPlot, which provides crystal-clear, individualized sound to every seat in Sphere, giving fans the same mix no matter where they sit or stand. The system consists of approximately 1,600 permanently installed and 300 mobile HoloPlot X1 Matrix Array loudspeaker modules and includes a total of 167,000 individually amplified loudspeaker drivers.
The venue contains 160,000 square feet of LEDs, which equate to four football fields, marking a cutting-edge immersive experience. The world’s largest spherical venue contains a 580,000 square foot fully-programmable LED exterior, containing 1.2 million LED pucks, spaced eight inches apart. Each puck contains 48 individual LED diodes, with each diode capable of displaying 256 million different colors – creating a vivid new landmark on the Las Vegas skyline.
