Slash Says Guns N' Roses Not Planning a Las Vegas Sphere Residency for Now

He argues the venue's immersive visuals would overshadow a traditional rock show.

Overview

  • Speaking on SiriusXM's Trunk Nation, Slash said he is trepidatious about the Sphere because it turns concerts into visual spectacles rather than a 'proper rock n' roll show.'
  • He relayed Joe Walsh's view that the venue is not particularly rock-friendly, citing the Eagles' experience there.
  • Slash noted he has not attended a show at the Sphere and said performing there requires building a show where roughly half the experience is projection content.
  • He left the door open to a future run, saying Guns N' Roses might consider it 'down the road.'
  • The Sphere continues to add bookings, with No Doubt scheduled for 12 shows in May 2026 and Metallica reported to be in talks for potential late-2026 dates.
