USA - Sphere Entertainment delivered the Sphere New Year’s Eve Celebration presented by Lexus – a custom Exosphere content show to ring in 2025 on the world’s largest LED screen. This included a celebration of major cities around the world as different time zones approach midnight, culminating with Sphere serving as Las Vegas’ official countdown to 2025 as part of the destination’s citywide New Year’s Eve fireworks show.
And immediately after the clock struck midnight, Sphere showcased content from Afterlife Presents Anyma The End of Genesys, which played inside Sphere on New Year’s Eve. The Celebration also featured a festive Lexus activation and art from XO Artist UON Visuals.
“Sphere is a global landmark, and we’re excited to be sharing New Year’s Eve with our fans around the world through our Exosphere show,” said Jen Koester, president and chief operating officer, Sphere. “New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas is one of the world’s marquee celebrations, and we’re proud to be working with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Lexus, and Anyma to ring in 2025 as only Sphere can.”
The Sphere New Year’s Eve Celebration kicked off at 5:00am PT on 31 December when Sydney, Australia welcomed in 2025. Throughout the day, the Exosphere displayed dynamic imagery with countdowns ahead of global cities – including Tokyo, Abu Dhabi, London, Buenos Aires, New York, Chicago and Denver – ringing in the New Year.
The final 30-second countdown to midnight in Las Vegas served as the city’s official countdown to Making Vegas Memories, the theme of this year’s America’s Party 2025 pyrotechnic show in which fireworks are launched from the rooftops of nine resort properties across the Las Vegas Strip.
