The Las Vegas MSG Sphere had its first screen show before its opening in September. It was lit up with moving lava visuals and showed a message that read “Hello World.” 

The sphere was designed by the same company that owns Madison Square Garden in New York City and cost over $2 billion to create. After its opening, it will become the world’s largest structure in a sphere. 

The images projected on the sphere were shared on social media. Photos and videos were taken, which demonstrate just how large the structure is. It is 34 meters high and 157 meters wide. The sphere is the largest LED screen in history and covers almost 54,000 square meters. 

Las Vegas Issues posted a video on Twitter captioning it, “The Death Star has some fancy new lights. ✨”

The video projected yellow and red lights that were swirling, looking almost like lava. It gave the illusion that the building was being lit on fire. 

The building was lit up fully on the Fourth of July for the first time. Before this, extensive tests were executed in preparation. 

Another fan said, “The Sphere Thingy just got a lot more interesting,” and posted a similar video. 

Many people seem excited for the opening of the stadium, commenting, “This is the music experience I was born for. ✨🔥🤘🏽🖤” 

The stadium will be able to hold up to 20,000 people, which includes 2,400 standing spots and 17,600 seats. It will host a variety of events, including sporting, music and live acts. 

It has been designed to premiere an enhanced audio system with more than 160,000 speakers. Four-D experiences will also be available as wind machines and vibrating seats will be used. 

The official opening date is September 29 and concerts have already been scheduled. U2 will perform until December featuring their album Achtung Baby.
