Tomorrowland and Insomniac Bet Big on the Vegas Sphere

There’s ambition, and then there’s what Tomorrowland and Insomniac are building inside the Las Vegas Sphere.

In an age where music festivals are increasingly chasing spectacle, these two titans of dance music are pushing into uncharted territory with UNITY—a multi-weekend “guided adventure” slated to kick off August 29-31. The inaugural lineup is a sharp, calculated move: Chase & Status, Kaskade, and Eli Brown. Three closers, three lanes of electronic music, one goal—immersion.

The Sphere isn’t just a venue; it’s a flex. At 160 feet tall, this dome of sound and sight has become the EDM industry’s newest blank canvas, begging for visionary minds to leave their mark. According to the press materials, UNITY promises 360° visuals, bespoke orchestration, and a blend of world-building elements pulled from Tomorrowland and Insomniac’s most recognizable aesthetic universes. It’s not a rave—it’s an alternate reality.

Kaskade’s inclusion is particularly poetic. A mainstay of progressive house, his sound is rooted in emotion and spatiality—qualities that seem almost purpose-built for the Sphere’s wraparound display and multidimensional acoustics. “This venue offers a one-night home for my music like we’ve never had,” he said in a recent statement. That is an artist recognizing the rare alignment of tech and tone.

Chase & Status bring a contrasting energy: raw, breakneck drum & bass and jungle aesthetics likely to rip through the digital skyline of the Sphere like static on an otherwise seamless broadcast. And Eli Brown—steeped in UK techno and warehouse grit—feels like the subterranean layer of the experience, grounding the spectacle in something physical and primal.

The first weekend is already sold out. That alone signals where dance music is headed: inward, forward, and upward. UNITY is a prototype for what happens when live music dares to meet immersive storytelling head-on. It asks a question: when the visuals stretch above you and the bass hits beneath you, where does the dancefloor end?
