The next touring rock act has moved into Sphere in Las Vegas, and photos have now been pushed out showing how Dead & Company is using the attractions vast, curved indoor screen.
The band – three members of the original Grateful Dead plus three others, including solo artist John Mayer – is playing 24 shows at the venue from mid-May to mid-July. Each weekend’s three performances will feature a unique setlist.
Producing this level and scale of creative is all-caps EXPENSIVE, but likely manageable when stretched across ticket sales from 18 shows. Big touring acts already use lots of grand-scale visuals as digital backdrops, but it is fun and interesting to see what creatives do with a canvas this big.
The residency started last night.
