Beyoncé, Sphere end residency talks - but singer could land at this Sin City venue
Beyoncé won’t be saddling up to perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas after negotiations broke down — but she may ride into another Sin City venue, The Post has learned.
The superstar singer, whose latest album Cowboy Carter has gone platinum, had been in talks for months with the James Dolan-owned state-of-the-art venue, but the sticking point turned out to be Beyoncé’s demand for the Sphere to go dark for two weeks so that she can rehearse, sources close to the situation said.
The $2.3 billion arena, which just celebrated the one-year anniversary of its outer exosphere, has four daily showings of the immersive film “Postcards from Earth” — with ticket prices starting at $104.
Shuttering the 20,000-seat Sphere for 14 days for rehearsal time would be a significant revenue hit, sources said.
Her team was also reportedly asking for about $10 million to produce the diva’s high-tech stage show — roughly the same amount of money the Sphere paid U2 to put on its spectacle, as The Post previously reported.
Beyoncé, who finished her “Renaissance” tour last September, is now speaking to rival MGM about a possible residency of roughly 100 shows over four years, the sources added.
