Sphere President and COO Jen Koester says the event bolsters the Bulbous Wonder’s unique image worldwide.
“As Las Vegas welcomes visitors from around the world for Formula 1 weekend, Sphere will once again deliver entertainment at a scale unmatched by any other venue,” Koester said, adding that the Afterparty and Backstreet Boys partnership “exemplify our commitment to bringing iconic artists together with groundbreaking technology to create experiences only Sphere can deliver.”
