A recent press announcement indicates that the Sphere is the exclusive venue for fans to experience Illenium’s new sixth studio album, which also bears the title “Odyssey,” during live performances.

“Each visual element, every detail, is freshly crafted and designed specifically for this moment,” Illenium expressed on Instagram. “This has been the most challenging yet fulfilling journey of my career. This dream commenced four years ago, and I can hardly believe it’s finally happening.”

In late 2024 and early 2025, Anyma became the inaugural electronic dance act to perform at the Sphere, followed by the “Unity” residency featuring artists like Peggy Gou, John Summit, Solomun, Mike Dean, and Layla Benitez.

Tickets for Illenium’s “Odyssey” residency at the Sphere will be available to the general public starting at 10 a.m. on Friday, September 26, via Ticketmaster. An artist presale is set to begin at 10 a.m. PT on Tuesday, September 23.

Zayn Malik is making waves in Las Vegas with a six-show residency at Dolby Live located within Park MGM on January 20, 21, 24, 25, 30, and 31.

While Harry Styles may have garnered more attention in the post-One Direction landscape, Malik made history as the first UK male solo artist to debut at No. 1 on both the UK and US album charts with his solo album, “Mind of Mine,” released in 2016.

Tickets will go on sale at 12 noon PT on Friday, September 26, via ticketmaster.com.
