Abu Dhabi’s Giant Sphere Ready to Rise as Preconstruction Wraps

The world’s biggest spherical entertainment venue is making its way to Abu Dhabi — and it’s almost go-time. The preconstruction phase for Sphere Abu Dhabi is nearly done, according to Sphere Entertainment CEO James Dolan. This will be the second Sphere after the Las Vegas original, which wowed the world with its massive 16K wraparound screens and 20,000-seat capacity.

Big Tech, Big Plans

Sphere Abu Dhabi promises the same jaw-dropping immersive experience — from concerts and screenings to original productions like Darren Aronofsky’s Postcards from Earth. The exact location and opening date are still under wraps, but the project has a 10-year franchise deal granting exclusive rights to build more Spheres across the Middle East and North Africa.

A Global Network in the Making

The Abu Dhabi Sphere is part of the brand’s bigger vision — a network of massive and mini Spheres around the world. Smaller venues seating about 5,000 could be built faster and at lower cost, while still delivering the same visual spectacle.
