Sphere is moving from Backstreet Boys’ ‘Millenium’ to Illenium.
From March 5-7 and 12-14, 2026, the 30-year-old turntablist will take over Las Vegas Sphere for a six-show stint he’s dubbed ‘Odyssey.’
The quick stay comes in support of the Illinois native’s forthcoming, sixth-studio album that shares a name with the March 2026 residency.
“‘Odyssey’ will come to life for the first time ever, only at The Sphere,” the “Takeaway” DJ shared via Instagram.
“Every visual, every detail, is new, original, and created just for this moment. It’s been the hardest but most rewarding process of my career. This dream began 4 years ago and I can’t believe it’s finally here. I’m so grateful to my team for pouring everything into making this come to life the past 9 months.”
Ahead of this brief run in the Entertainment Capital of the World, Illenium has a number of New York City and New Jersey shows scheduled these next few months.
First, he’ll be at NYC’s The Rooftop at Pier 17 on Friday, Sept. 26. After that, the party-starter is slated to drop beats at Brooklyn’s Avant Gardner on Sept. 27-28 and Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Saturday, Nov. 1.
At the time of publication, there’s no release date set for “Odyssey” and only scant details are known about the album — his first 2023’s self-titled “Illenium” — which he describes as “a journey of self discovery and acceptance.” Time will tell if his recently-released tracks “Forever,” “Still Breathing,” “Refuge,” “Ur Alive” and “In My Arms” end up on the record.

Although no release date is in sight yet for “Odyssey,” Illenium has dropped a number of lively singles in 2025.
Here’s a quick look at the three most recent tracks:
“Forever” starts small with sensitive acoustic guitar before Tom Grennan’s vocals take over around 40 seconds in and explode the track into bouncy epic territory.
“Still Breathing” takes listeners on a similar emotional journey — vulnerable vocals from Faouzia over poignant instrumentals — before unleashing a head-bobbing, fist-bumping beat drop that will have you blissing out in no time.
“Refuge” showcases the husky-voiced Norma Jean Martine over jittery synths. Once Illenium isolates her powerful pipes the song hits a fever pitch. This may be the best of the bunch.
If you want to dig further back into the archives, you can find Illenium’s complete discography here.
You don’t have to fly to Vegas to take in a mind, body and soul-expanding rave this year.
