Illenium is turning the Las Vegas Sphere into his personal storybook, hauling his new album ODYSSEY into a multi-night residency that leans hard into immersive, cinematic spectacle. The run starts March 5, spans two March weekends with extra April nights, and each show is set to feature a different special guest. Promoters are billing the residency as the only place fans will hear ODYSSEY performed live.

Official announcement and creative team

According to Sphere Entertainment Co., ILLENIUM PRESENTS ODYSSEY AT SPHERE was announced as a residency in support of his sixth studio album, built in collaboration with Berlin-based animation studio Woodblock. The creative team is developing custom visuals for the Sphere’s wraparound screen, tailored to its massive digital canvas. In the official announcement Illenium summed up the concept simply: “ODYSSEY is a journey of self-discovery and acceptance.”

EDM.com notes that the shows first appeared as a six-date March run before being extended to nine nights with newly added April 2–4 performances. In its own coverage, Pollstar framed the Sphere chapter as another step in Illenium’s shift into stadium-scale, cinematic concert production.

Support acts and VIP packages

The official lineup on The Sphere shows a rotating cast of openers across the run, including Alok, Dab The Sky (Dabin x Said The Sky), Wooli, Levity, Audien, Ray Volpe, SLANDER, DJ Diesel and Tape B. For fans building a full Vegas weekend around the show, The Venetian and Vibee are teaming up on hotel-and-ticket VIP packages that wrap premium seats with stays at the resort, per The Venetian.

Tickets and cost

Presales for the residency kicked off in September, with general on-sale following shortly after. Remaining tickets and official packages are being funneled through authorized vendors, TicketNews reported. Pricing varies widely depending on seating and add-ons. As Business Insider points out, standard seats and verified resales often land in the low-to-mid hundreds, while premium options and Vibee bundles can climb into the thousands.

What the Sphere adds

Organizers say ODYSSEY was built specifically with Sphere’s tech in mind. The venue’s high-resolution wraparound LED surface and Sphere Immersive Sound system create a 360-degree playground for bespoke visuals and spatial audio. Illenium and his production team describe the residency as his most ambitious project to date and emphasize that every visual element was crafted for the venue’s scale and unique layout, per the official announcement.
