Despite being rumored that Dead & Company are in talks to play a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, a recent survey reveals they are not the artists most people want to see headline at the futuristic venue.
As the U2’s Sphere residency is coming to an end, there have been numerous rumors regarding the next performer to set up shop the Sphere. A recent survey asked 3,000 U.S residents who they’d most like to see and it turns out Dead & Company aren’t the artists most people would like to see headline at the arena.
The survey revealed Lady Gaga to be the top pick for the most wanted artist to perform at the residency. This could come as a no surprise for many given her past performances in Vegas residencies and also her many hits that top the charts.
Other artists coming ahead of Dead & Company include the band Kiss at nine, British singer Harry Styles coming at eight, Bon Jovi at seven, The Eagles at six, The Beatles’ Paul McCartney at four, Coldplay at three, and Beyonce coming at two.
The survey also revealed other prominent top artists to consider for future performances at the Sphere’s residency.
Coming in first place was Taylor Swift as she was Spotify’s top artist of 2023, followed by Lady Gaga who finished in second place. This overwhelming lead suggests that Americans want to see the pop singer return to the stage in Vegas, but this time in the Sphere which has a more alluring environment.
Silk Sonic member Bruno Mars took third place, with his top-charting albums and his current Vegas residency this could be seen as a no-brainer to many. Other top streamed artists of 2023 that made it to the wishlist are Eminem in fourth place, Paul McCartney in fifth, Beyoncé sixth, Eagles in seventh, Bon Jovi in eighth, Coldplay in ninth, and Billie Eilish in tenth.
The survey also revealed the top genre for the Sphere to feature in the next residency and with no brainer Pop took the lead in the top-ranked genre.
Rock followed closely in second, hip hop came in third, metal/punk rock came in fourth, and R&B swayed into fifth place overall.
To finish off the genres, “Other” came in sixth, EDM in seventh, country in eighth, K-pop in ninth, jazz in tenth, and last but not least rap in eleventh.
Currently, U2 is still performing at Sphere in Las Vegas until March 2 for the U2: UV Achtung Baby Live. Then, Phish will follow from April 18–21.
