John Mayer knows his way around Las Vegas’ Sphere, having spearheaded the residencies that Dead & Company did at that venue in 2024 and 2025. That Grateful Dead spinoff group may have reached its natural end with the death of Bob Weir in January of this year, but as it turns out,
John Mayer's upcoming residency at the Sphere in Spring 2027 is a significant development in the live music scene, particularly in Las Vegas.

Looking ahead, it's worth watching how Mayer's residency at the Sphere will be received by fans and critics alike.
