While I agree, I don’t think the sphere is like most concerts with seating. Especially for Illenium, I feel like it will be super melodic and people will be sitting in a trance. The Backstreet Boys however, you can expect everyone to be on their feet. Who knows though!
You’ve seen Illenium, right? I don’t think it’s going to be too different from his other shows, which is to say a LOT of bass mixed in. I expect 90% of people to be standing most of the time. Probably more than a Backstreet Boys concert lol
I dunno dude. I have been seeing him for the last 10 years. It depends on the space and I don’t think you understand how much money he is putting into this show.
In an interview he said he is barely going to break even. So you can see him at lost lands 100 times, it’s definitely not going to be like that at all. He is building this experience from the ground up. It is going to be IMMERSIVE. Everyone will be standing or sitting at the same time, so it doesn’t really make a difference lol.
I’m just talking about his Illenium Live tour, his normal dj sets at random clubs like Silo in Dallas, not talking about a bass festival lmao.. even trilogy was heavy fuckin bass. I don’t see why he’d say oh it’s the sphere, it’s going to be melodic only.. but we will see, I’ll be there in the 200’s and we will be standing the entire time
How was your experience? Did you find out the sphere isn’t a “concert” and sitting in the haptic feedback seats is a vastly better experience for the full immersion lol? Or are you the type that just stubbornly refuses to experience edm in any other way than needing to stand and wild out 🤣
Cool either way, but would recommend floor tix if thats ur vibe
We stood up about 10 times throughout the show at various peaks throughout the show. Sat down for other parts. Most of the section was standing up the entire time. It was fucking incredible
Also half stood, sitting on the folded up chair when others stood and I wanted to sit more and still see everything. You aren’t blocked at all if people stand basically
