ILLENIUM Presents ODYSSEY Returns to Sphere Las Vegas with Special Guests ALLYCVT July 3 & Sullivan King

Hot off his surprise appearances with Dabin, William Black and Griz b2b Wooli’s sets at EDC Las Vegas this past weekend, GRAMMY-nominated electronic artist ILLENIUM has announced the special guests for his final ILLENIUM Presents ODYSSEY at Sphere with ALLEYCVT for Friday, July 3 and Sullivan King for Saturday July 4. Limited tickets remain here.

ILLENIUM Presents ODYSSEY at Sphere, which previously took place March 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, April 2, 3 & 4, marks a bold new chapter for ILLENIUM, ushering in a heightened era of emotional storytelling, maximalist production, and world-building around his latest album ODYSSEY (Republic Records). The story begins with a familiar symbol to ILLENIUM fans, a fiery phoenix rising from the ashes and then threads around two female warriors in search of each other. On their way they learn self-acceptance and forgiveness, ultimately discovering themselves and a feeling of wholeness. In between the audience is taken through vortexes and wormholes, far away planets and into the demon’s lair. It is a classic hero’s journey, as the title ODYSSEY implies.

The show features album cuts such as “Feels Like You,” “Love Is A Chemical” and “Monster,” as well as his hit collaborations “Don’t Want Your Love” with global pop icon Ellie Goulding, “Feel Live” with Bastille and Dabin, “Forever” with Tom Grennan, “To The Moon” with Alok and “In My Arms” with HAYLA and Wooli, as well as from his 2023 self-titled album “Shivering” with Spiritbox’ Courtney LaPlante. The set also showcases “Die Living,” (a collaboration with David Guetta and Dustin Lynch), a new single which made its debut within the ODYSSEY Sphere show, with ILLENIUM accompanied by a string quartet becoming a highlight of his performance.

Complementing the transcendent music, ODYSSEY’s breathtaking visuals are brought to life by Berlin based animation studio Woodblock in collaboration with Sphere Studios, both celebrated for cinematic storytelling and immersive design. ILLENIUM Presents ODYSSEY is a multi-sensory experience featuring Sphere’s advanced technologies – including the world’s highest-resolution LED display and its advanced concert-grade audio system, Sphere Immersive Sound.

Critical acclaim for ILLENIUM Presents ODYSSEY at Sphere:

“Now, if there’s one thing you don’t associate with ILLENIUM — who’s fond of big moments, big budgets, big everything — it’s understatement. But this was the rare instance in which his words would qualify as just that. To wit: About 30 minutes into the opening night of “Odyssey” on Thursday, “Slave” begins with animated, sci-fi-worthy visuals of a cyborglike female DJ outfitted with devil horn headphones. As the beat goes from bubbling to bulldozing, the bass drop hits — thwack! — and off goes her flesh in a burst of green goo, revealing a skeleton with glowing eyes who continues manning the decks, setting a new bar for gnarliness in Sphere’s 2½-year history. “Mental”? Yeah.” – Las Vegas Review Journal

“— a production that felt part Blade Runner, part Final Fantasy, and fully engineered for the world’s most technologically advanced venue….a groundbreaking moment in live entertainment.” – Billboard

“...Miller [ILLENIUM] set out to create an engrossing storyline designed specifically for the world’s most technologically advanced venue. The album’s 19 tracks simply support a live visual experience highlighting his much loved bass genre, hardcore and country influences. Odyssey’s music drives the narrative for an unprecedented immersive experience designed specifically for the space in partnership with Berlin-based visual animation studio Woodblock. Other artists appearing at Sphere have added visuals to existing songs (Dead & Company, U2, The Eagles) or designed visuals for specific unreleased tracks (Anyma). Yet no artist has created an entire album designed to be a full-on Sphere experience – until now.” – Hit Parader

“Built around his sixth album ODYSSEY, the show, which was conceptualized as a ‘neo-space opera,’ unfolded like a cinematic expedition through ILLENIUM’s ageless catalog. Visceral singalong moments echoed throughout the venue as fans belted out lyrics to his most emotional tracks, like ‘In My Arms,’ his soaring collaboration with HAYLA. Where the concert truly separated itself, however, was the visuals. Even by the Sphere’s standards, ILLENIUM’s production team developed a show that doubled as a storytelling masterstroke, the artist’s signature phoenix imagery enveloping us as the venue’s wraparound screen morphed into various empyrean settings. The aesthetic felt like Final Fantasy meets angelic angst. With each track came with its own unique visual universe, like endless celestial skies and a surrealist, dreamlike portal with prismatic helixes of DNA.” – EDM

“Roughly a decade after he dropped his debut project, Ashes, this triumphant effort fittingly began with images of a phoenix hatchling rising through a flurry of feathers and flame. For the next 90 minutes, ILLENIUM orchestrated his own rebirth by pushing the boundaries of what an EDM residency at the Sphere can entail.”

– Las Vegas Weekly

“For ODYSSEY, ILLENIUM—with the support of Woodblock, the same visual effects studio behind Anyma’s The End of Genesys residency at Sphere in 2024–’25, in collaboration with Sphere Studios—pulled off something far more ambitious: a full-blown, emotionally loaded, bass-drenched “Neo-Space Opera” that somehow made 18,000 people feel like they were inside a breakup, a boss battle, and a group therapy session all at once.” – Live For Live Music
