Sphere keeps booking headline residencies, but its biggest money machine is still The Wizard of Oz.
P!nk is giving a show a home address, at least for nine nights. The singer announced a nine-show residency at Sphere in Las Vegas for September and October 2027, the first time a solo female pop artist will headline the venue, Consequence reported. Artist presales start Nov. 18, and general tickets go on sale Nov. 20 through Ticketmaster.
“For the first time, I’m giving a show a home and I hope you’ll visit,” she wrote on Instagram. The booking had been rumored since March, when Secret Las Vegas reported she was “all but signed” for 2027.
Sphere’s concert calendar is filling fast. Rush announced five Sphere shows for May 2027, with general tickets on sale Nov. 13, TicketNews reported. Metallica began 24 planned concerts in October, the Backstreet Boys and Eagles extended runs of up to 63 and 74 nights, and Oprah Winfrey and John Mayer have announced 2027 residencies, according to Sphere Entertainment’s third-quarter results.
The concerts are the marquee. The movie is the engine. Sphere segment revenue rose 14% to $198.9 million in the quarter ended Sept. 30, and its adjusted operating income jumped 90% to $32.4 million. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere played 241 times in the quarter, about 2.6 shows a day, and the company says it has sold more than half a billion dollars in tickets and over four million seats since its August 2025 debut.
James Dolan, Sphere’s executive chairman and CEO, said the segment “remains on track to deliver substantial growth this calendar year.” Nine nights of P!nk will help. Dorothy is doing the heavy lifting.
