The rumors about Harry Styles taking a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere have been finally addressed.

The recent speculation that Harry Styles, the pop artist, was in final talks for 35 shows in that venue was confirmed as baseless by a spokesperson who stated that there were no plans for such concerts.

Style was reportedly considering a long-term contract at Sphere, a venue known for a high-tech audiovisual experience and previous residencies of stars like U2 and The Eagles.

This alleged residency was expected to bring Styles' grand homecoming to live concerts in 2023 after Love On Tour, which was record-breaking. It is unimaginable for an artist to sell out for 15 consecutive days, but for his fans, the idea of a Las Vegas residency was more plausible.

Prevailing Theories

Nonetheless, there have been sources revealing that those are just baseless rumors. In an interview with Billboard, a spokesperson of the Sphere told,

“To set the record straight, there has never been plans for Harry Styles to perform at Sphere.”

This statement contrasts the stories of the singer's negotiations for a multimillion-dollar offer with Sphere owner James Dolan.

While Styles' actual performance in such an innovative venue had fans amazed, his team has clarified that his next residency in Las Vegas will not happen any time soon.

What's the Sphere?

The Sphere is one of the most modern event centers in the whole world, and it is situated in Las Vegas. With an impressive capacity of 18,600 seats, and a 160,000-speaker sound system, it also has an exterior entirely composed of 580,000 square feet of LED panels, giving you a dazzling visual appearance. This is meant to be an all-encompassing space, immersing the audiences and making it an attractive arena for more concerts and residencies.

The Sphere, opened this September 2023, has had an ever-increasing list of high-profile artists who have been featured. U2 already brought in the first residency of their U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere show, with the Eagles as headliners, adding their immortal catalog to this technologically advanced location. As the most eminent arena for hosting shows of the titans of rock and pop, it's no surprise that the rumor of a Harry Styles residency began buzzing.

What's to follow for Harry Styles?

Styles is not currently on a no-tour list, but he has been a busy creative with several ventures simultaneously. Fans are awaiting something new after his Grammy-winning album Harry's House has been released, and they expect to see live performances from him as well. Styles has not only been making waves on the silver screen but also in the cinema industry, with some of his most recent acting credits being (to name a few) “Don't Worry Darling” and “My Policeman”.

Harry Styles might have to wait for his big moment in Las Vegas, but his next step—the unknown—will be as exciting as the previous ones.
