ANYMA AND YEAT MAKE HISTORY AS THE FIRST ELECTRONIC AND RAP ARTISTS TO PERFORM AT THE LAS VEGAS SPHERE

Since its grand opening, the Las Vegas Sphere has pushed the boundaries of live entertainment, hosting some of the most visually stunning performances in modern music history. While rock giants, U2, made headlines as the venue’s inaugural act, a new milestone was set when Anyma, one-half of the electronic duo Tale of Us, became the first electronic music artist to headline the groundbreaking venue. His visionary residency, The End of Genesys, was more than just a concert series; it was a full-scale audiovisual spectacle that redefined the relationship between sound, technology, and art.

Anyma is no stranger to blending music with cutting-edge visuals. His Genesys concept–first introduced through his solo project–combines melodic techno with intricate digital art, AI-generated visuals, and futuristic storytelling. This made him the perfect artist to take full advantage of the Sphere’s state-of-the-art technology, which boasts the world’s highest-resolution LED screen and an immersive sound system engineered to create an unparalleled sensory experience.

Initially slated for a single New Year’s Eve performance on December 31, 2024, overwhelming demand led to additional shows in late December and early January 2025. Within 24 hours, six of the eight scheduled performances sold out, drawing over 100,000 fans eager to witness the fusion of electronic music and next-level visuals. Due to its success, The End of Genesys extended its run, with final performances taking place between February 27 and March 2, 2025.

But Anyma wasn’t the only artist making history at the Sphere. On March 1, 2025, rapper Yeat took the stage, becoming the first rap artist to ever perform at the iconic venue. The momentous occasion unfolded as Yeat joined Anyma for the debut performance of their collaborative track Work, marking an unprecedented fusion of electronic music and rap within the immersive, high-tech setting of the Sphere.

Yeat’s surprise appearance at the Sphere added another layer of significance to the event. Performing Work alongside Anyma, he seamlessly blended his signature rap style with the producer’s ethereal electronic soundscapes, creating a moment that resonated deeply with fans of both genres. The performance, held before a crowd of approximately 40,000 attendees, showcased the Sphere’s ability to elevate hip-hop into a visually stunning, multi-sensory experience.

Social media erupted as clips from the performance flooded platforms like Twitter and TikTok, with fans praising the electrifying chemistry between the two artists. The collaboration highlighted the Sphere’s potential as a venue that transcends musical boundaries, proving that rap can thrive within an immersive, high-tech space originally tailored for rock and electronic acts.

Anyma’s residency and Yeat’s landmark performance represent a turning point for live music, showcasing how advanced technology can enhance not only electronic music but hip-hop as well. While dance music has long thrived in clubs and festivals, The End of Genesys and Yeat’s appearance demonstrated that both electronic and rap artists could command a venue of this scale while delivering deeply immersive, genre-defying performances.

As The End of Genesys closes its chapter at the Sphere, and Yeat etches his name in history as the first rapper to grace its stage, the question now is–who will be next to push the boundaries even further?
