The Sphere Las Vegas residency is the band's first full-scale live performance ever since their 'final tour' in summer 2023. Dead & Company had informed fans back in September 2022 that the summer tour would be the last time they hit the road for an official outing.
While the reason behind the decision was never confirmed, the band's manager, Irving Azoff, later hinted that the tours were physically hard for the members. He had even hinted that the members didn't want each other to get sick out there.
