On June 2, during his participation on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”, Def Leppard‘s guitarist Phil Collen articulated the potential for him and his fellow band members to undertake a series of performances at the Sphere located in Las Vegas, Nevada, as per Blabbermouth. In response to an inquiry regarding whether he had attended any performances at the Sphere thus far, Phil remarked as follows.
I have. Well, I only saw ‘The Wizard Of Oz’ [immersive experience] in there, but I’ve seen lots of stuff [online about it]. And this isn’t a diss or anything, but it seems that it’s the Sphere featuring whatever band it is. It could be anyone. And that’s what we’d be a bit scared of. I mean, I’d love to play there — it’d be awesome, it’s incredible, and it’d be a great experience — but I think that people focus on just the production as opposed to the band. So we’ll see. I don’t know. I mean, I could be wrong. But, yeah, I’d love to play there, absolutely. We definitely would. So we’ll see.
In contemplating his personal experiences at the Sphere, Phil conveyed the following insights.
We were there, obviously, [for] ‘The Wizard Of Oz’, and [my son] Jackson caught one of those apples that come out of the sky, which was kind of cool. But it’s fascinating. It’s amazing. I just wondered [what it would be like to see a band there], ’cause I wasn’t quite sure. I haven’t seen a band in there, and that’s always a concern that you’d come out there and it’d be, like, ‘Yeah, the Sphere was great. Oh yeah, and I saw U2 or The Eagles there as well,’ type of thing. Or it doesn’t matter, whether the whole experience kind of overshadows one or the other. It depends. But, yeah, I guess we’ll find out.
