In Las Vegas, a new concert hall made up of LEDs and a unique projection system, called the Sphere, promises breathtaking shows.

The sphere is the latest craze in Las Vegas (United States). It is a concert hall made up of thousands of LEDs. Inside, dizzying stands and spectacular light shows with an impressive projection system. Spectators relayed the technological feat on social networks. “It will revolutionize touring and concert halls for a long time”, assures a man. U2 will play in the Sphere until the end of the year, which is called a residency.

The residence model disrupted by Céline Dion

In the same weekend, it is possible to see Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Adèle. However, residencies were often synonymous with the end of a career, like Elvis Presley or Frank Sinatra. But, in the early 2000s, Céline Dion changed everything. She stayed for 16 years and played more than 1,000 times in Las Vegas, demonstrating that the economic model is viable and that it has advantages for artists.
