Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour is “hoping” for hologram show at The Sphere

Former Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has revealed that he hopes his music will be taken to The Sphere in Las Vegas as part of a virtual show.

Since opening its doors in 2023, The Sphere has attracted huge artists such as U2 and the Eagles, as well as hosting an immersive adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. Due to the atmospheric nature of Gilmour’s music, he has naturally been suggested to play the venue.

Gilmour has a reputation for playing unconventional venues, whether this is Pompeii with Pink Floyd or his upcoming live concert film, which was recorded over three nights at the Circus Maximus in Rome.

At the premiere for Live at the Circus Maximus at London’s BFI IMAX, Gilmour responded to a question about potentially bringing his live show to The Sphere in the future.

He said (per Louder Sound): “The Sphere? Well, you know, I’m hoping, one of these days, to go there and sit and watch myself doing it, which is something I’ve always wanted to do. My avatar, you know? So I don’t actually have to get up and do it.”

Gilmour also recently addressed this subject during an interview with Rolling Stone, but admitted that he’s not yet been to The Sphere, sharing, “Well, to be honest, I really know almost nothing about what it does. But they have been on and suggested that I might do something there. But in the future, who knows. I haven’t got that far.”

Additionally, in 2024, Gilmour gave the provisional green light for a potential Pink Floyd hologram show in the mould of ABBA’s Voyage. He told Uncut, “If someone came up with all the money and all the brilliant ideas – and then once we’ve agreed to a series of very, very difficult and onerous conditions – I’d say, ‘Yeah, OK.’”

However, he did also share his complaints of ABBA’s Voyage, adding, “I thought the images of them were sort of OK, but they weren’t ever going to convince me it was real. If you’re down the sort of mosh pit end of the thing and it’s all going on, it’s probably great. The best moment for me was when the live band played a song on their own.”
