For New Year’s Eve 2025, I had the privilege of attending one of the most groundbreaking shows I’ve ever experienced—Anyma: The End of Genesys at the Sphere in Las Vegas. This immersive, futuristic concert experience marked a significant moment for electronic music, as Anyma became the first electronic dance act to headline the Sphere, and I can honestly say it was the best concert experience of my life.
The Sphere: A New Era for Concerts
The Sphere, an architectural marvel in Las Vegas, is unlike any venue I’ve ever been to. Designed with cutting-edge technology, the Sphere offers a 360-degree, immersive environment that makes traditional concert venues look like a thing of the past. The entire venue is a giant screen, and it’s this visual and auditory technology that creates an unparalleled concert experience. As soon as you enter, you’re transported into a world where sound, light, and visuals converge in the most mind-bending way.
Anyma: The Visionary DJ Behind ‘The End of Genesys’
Anyma, known for his viral performances with Afterlife and his influential duo Tale of Us, is renowned for creating electronic music experiences that go beyond sound. “The End of Genesys” is no exception. His performance at the Sphere takes the concept of a DJ set to new heights, combining stunning visuals, groundbreaking technology, and a thought-provoking narrative.
The show’s concept, “The End of Genesys,” explores the humanization of robots, a theme that is fully realized through Anyma’s signature visuals. As the first electronic dance act to headline at the Sphere, Anyma utilized the venue’s incredible capabilities to present a truly unique experience. Robots are brought to life in front of your eyes, breaking through screens, towering above the crowd, and creating a sense of scale that is almost overwhelming. At one point, the audience is “thrown over a cliff” and deposited into Earth’s atmosphere—a literal leap into the future.
The Performance: A Love Story Between Humans and Robots
The show is divided into four acts, each telling a part of the emotional and visually stunning story that revolves around humans and robots joining together in a love story that transcends time and space into the quantum realm. The first act introduces the love story of Anyma’s robotic character, showing its transformation as it gains human-like emotions and desires. The show continues to explore themes of connection and humanity, as we watch robots evolve, interact, and ultimately join together with humans in a narrative of unity.
The show’s visuals are as much a part of the story as the music itself. Fans are treated to a rollercoaster of holographic effects, jump scares, and alien creatures crawling across screens. The tension builds as the story unfolds, and the audience is kept on the edge of their seats, both figuratively and literally.
Special Guests and Surprises
One of the highlights of the night was the surprise guest appearances. Grimes, Anyma’s partner, made a special appearance, which added an extra layer of excitement to the evening. Additionally, Ellie Goulding featured on a new track, and Empire of the Sun brought their infectious energy to the stage. The seamless integration of these special guest performances with Anyma’s visionary DJing made the show feel even more monumental.
The Experience: 4D Immersion and the Rave Vibe
For my experience, I was seated in the 200 section, which offered an incredible view of the entire venue and the massive screens. The immersive 4D experience was something out of this world—think IMAX meets EDC. The seats vibrated in sync with the music, creating an even more immersive experience, but the angle can feel steep at times, so be prepared for a bit of a drop in certain areas. However, the view is absolutely unbeatable, and I found myself fully immersed in the spectacle.
Now, I’ve read a lot of hate online about people criticizing the show, and I have to say—it seems like many of those people weren’t actually in attendance. I saw people complaining about those sitting down, but with the seats vibrating in sync with the music, sitting was actually part of the experience and made for a more comfortable and immersive time. Some have also criticized the music, but the small clips circulating online only show fragments of the show—primarily the parts where the robots and visuals take center stage. In reality, the music was packed with great dance tracks that flowed seamlessly with the visual storytelling, making it an all-encompassing experience.
The floor, where the rave vibes were palpable, was packed with energy. It was a lively space where I interacted with other fans who were just as captivated by the performance as I was. The robots towering above us, seemingly breaking free from the screens, added a surreal touch to the environment.
A Story Told in Four Acts
To wrap up, “The End of Genesys” unfolds in four acts:
1. Act One: The introduction of the robot protagonist and its growing human-like emotions.
2. Act Two: The robot explores its identity, questioning its existence.
3. Act Three: The robot and humans come together in a powerful moment of unity.
4. Act Four: The culmination of the story, where the love story transcends the physical realm and enters the quantum, symbolizing the union of technology and humanity.
Conclusion: The Best Concert Experience of My Life
Without a doubt, Anyma: The End of Genesys at the Sphere in Las Vegas was the most innovative and immersive concert I’ve ever attended. The combination of cutting-edge technology, spectacular visuals, and emotional storytelling created an experience that is hard to put into words. Whether you’re a fan of electronic music, art, or simply want to experience something new, I highly recommend seeing a show at the Sphere. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
If you’re looking for a transformative music event that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in live performance, Anyma at the Sphere is a must-see. Ok
