Iconic Jam Band Phish Announces Four-Show Run at the Las Vegas Sphere
The Law Vegas Sphere has lined up its next big act, after U2 kicked off its residency shortly after the venue opened earlier this year. The iconic, four-decade-old jam band Phish will be playing four shows in April 2024. But getting a ticket for what will undoubtedly be a highly sought-after seat might be easier said than done.
The Madison Square Garden-owned venue announced the news on Thursday morning.
"Just announced," the account posted on X, formerly Twitter. "Phish will bring four performances to Sphere on Apr. 18, 19, 20, and 21, 2024. Each of Phish’s shows will feature completely unique setlists and visuals, making every show a truly once-in-a-lifetime audio-visual experience."

The website states that fans will have the option of requesting a single-day ticket or four-day ticket. "If your ticket request is granted, you will not know your seat locations until after your order is finalized and it is non-refundable," the conditions note.
Amid reports earlier this month that the Sphere has already lost somewhere in the ballpark of $100 million, it came out that the venue was considering some big-ticket artists for its upcoming residencies. According to the New York Post, some of the names being thrown around include Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Bon Jovi, and Paul McCartney. Although the Phish residency is only four days, the series of shows is sure to generate some much-needed buzz.
The Sphere also has its first big sporting event lined up, with UFC president Dana White announcing a big-ticket fight to take place on Mexican Independence Day, Sept. 16, 2024.
