Anyma is making history as the first electronic headliner at the iconic MSG Sphere, wrapping up an epic eight-show residency that has left audiences in awe. The Sphere itself is a groundbreaking testament to human creativity and technological innovation. Packed with state-of-the-art visuals and cutting-edge features like haptic feedback in every seat to amplify the bass, it offers artists an unparalleled platform to express their artistry. However, with this great potential comes a hefty investment, leading to an exciting question: Who will be the next electronic artist to headline the Sphere?
Since the Sphere is still early in its lifecycle and remains one of a kind, any future headliner must have broad, cross-generational appeal. They also need music that resonates beyond their core fanbase—something accessible even to those who might not be hardcore fans of the artist. For this reason, we’re unlikely to see a dubstep artist headline the Sphere anytime soon. While many names come to mind, my bet is on Kaskade and Deadmau5 stepping up as the next electronic headliners, combining solo sets with their collaborative Kx5 project every night.
Both Kaskade and Deadmau5 are generational icons who have been at the top of the EDM world for decades. Their music has universal appeal—house music is accessible and widely enjoyed, even by casual listeners who may not typically follow EDM. (I mean, my parents enjoy it, and they don’t listen to electronic music at all!) This cross-generational pull makes them perfect candidates to draw diverse crowds to the Sphere.
Individually, Kaskade and Deadmau5 are legends. Together, they create a magnetic pull that’s unmatched. Both artists have the resources to invest in reimagining their visuals for a venue as unique as the Sphere, and there’s no doubt they would deliver a show for the ages. A Kx5 residency at the Sphere would not only celebrate their artistry but also reinforce the thriving status of EDM today.
Here’s hoping it happens soon! The Sphere’s embrace of electronic headliners marks an exciting milestone for the genre and a reminder that EDM is stronger and more vibrant than ever.
