“Sphere is redefining live entertainment and extending the reach of its transformative impact.” - James Dolan, Executive chairman and CEO of Sphere Entertainment.

Following the successful launch of the first Sphere in Las Vegas, Sphere Entertainment is building a second venue in Abu Dhabi. The Abu Dhabi Sphere will be similar in size to the Las Vegas venue, which has a capacity of 20,000 people.

Unlike the wholly owned Las Vegas Sphere, the Abu Dhabi venue will be financed by Abu Dhabi and operate under a franchise model. The Abu Dhabi Sphere will utilize Sphere Entertainment’s designs, technology, and intellectual property (original immersive experiences).

The Las Vegas Sphere has already proven successful, hosting a diverse range of events, including September’s UFC 306: Riyadh Season Noche UFC O’Malley vs Dvalishvili event.

Sphere Entertainment sees this as a step towards creating a global network of Sphere venues, and touts the facility as ‘redefining live entertainment.’

Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism believes the Sphere will be a major attraction, playing a key role in establishing Abu Dhabi as a leading cultural and entertainment destination.
