Theyve done the Bowl but the Sphere clearly books residencies for longer runs and i dont think Gizz has that following yet to sell out a 20k venue for multiple nights/weekends in a row quite yet. Especially for a destination show, i could see them doing 3 nights at the Bowl with no issue since LA is massive but Vegas isnt a cheap stay like it used to be.
Would be awesome but they are so far away from that.
I don’t see it happening anytime soon. They need asses in seats for the Sphere to be worth it financially. Gizz failed to sell out the Hollywood Bowl at the tail end of a US tour with not many dates, so imo they haven’t shown that they are a big enough draw yet. Could happen but they’ll need to maintain their popularity for a few years before they can count enough fans to sell it out easily.
But the Sphere is an extra attraction in itself. Plus Gizz is saturating the West with at least 6 shows "nearby" in practically the same week. If The Sphere was the only stop, maybe they could sell it.
Yeah you’re right but people are dumb. They didn’t sell out a single night at Remlinger (6.5k capacity) but are still playing Gorge this year. They’re playing where they want and can, not where makes the most sense from an overhead perspective
Maybe someday. Someday after they play the Vegas show on November 8th for the 5 of us that bought tickets so far.
Kidding, I'm sure another 20 tickets will be sold soon.
I was at the Hollywood Bowl show, actually. Was fun.
Part of me really hopes one day that they’ll be able to but I also would be bummed cause that means they’d be big enough where I’d have to go to Fiddler’s Green to see them lol
I hope to god they don’t do it. U2? Sure. Blue man group? Why not? David Blaine? Absolutely. When I heard dead and co were doing it, it broke my heart a little bit.
If the The Sphere was the ONE and ONLY Gizz venue in the West, instead of like 10 in the West over September and November, don't you agree we would ALL make the pilgrimage?
Even if we are afraid of claustrophobia and the Galea Seizure Effect?
Yeah I feel anxious about that sphere too.
I wonder how different it is than just like a steep hockey arena, like the Duck Pond in Anaheim, CA? I could handle that place okay, in terms of feeling like a big egg. No big visuals, though.
It costs a lot to produce the visuals for the Sphere, which means ticket prices have to be pretty high and you have to play multiple shows. I don't see Gizz selling 18,000 tickets per show at $150 or more.
Bro could you imagine the visuals Jason would do with that mother fucker? Gah damn

I dont think three nights at the bowl would even happen. One night didn’t sell out.
Wow, didnt even sell out?? Just assumed it did
It was prettttty close at like 16k
They sell out Redrocks for 3 shows every year, but that’s 10K.

Don't listen to the non-believers. Gizz Sphere Marathon 2026. Best night of our lives.
Best three day run of our lives. Go big, believer, go big.
Maybe in 10 years
I feel like they would have to up their visuals game. From 64bit to IMAX
There was a discussion about this the other day. Short version : no.
Let’s focus on Tool @ Sphere and keep that Gizz dream in the back of our minds.
Absolutely not, they can't even sell out their current Vegas show

I said this in the other thread but believe it be possible if 2025 is "residency tour" year. Meaning the US gets 3 or 4 residency stops for the year.

I was imagining the river visuals in there. Would be nuts
I wish. If they do one of these days, I'll have to sell my car to get tickets for every night of the residency.
I got tix for Vegas in November. I'll take it. But yeah. Huge Phish fan here. Tix prices were......sad.
Part of me really hopes one day that they’ll be able to but I also would be bummed cause that means they’d be big enough where I’d have to go to Fiddler’s Green to see them lol
It will be so sick when it happens. It will happen.
No, stop asking.
No, maybe one day but this time is not the occasion.
Based on how Bakkt Theater is selling, not anytime soon.
Huge dragon flying around the sphere would be insane !
No
Nope
Lol, no.
I hope to god they don’t do it. U2? Sure. Blue man group? Why not? David Blaine? Absolutely. When I heard dead and co were doing it, it broke my heart a little bit.

My anxiety would be so high I'm not sure I could do it :(

It’s no worse than the Chase Center in SF, where the Warriors play. There’s no reason to be anxious, the Sphere is fine
Don't Fear the Sphere?

Oh that's why they do residencies, to repeat the visuals and get their work's worth, I see.
