MSG Sphere’s Exosphere to show ‘dazzling display’ on Fourth of July

Updated July 2, 2023 - 9:19 pm

The MSG Sphere is planning something big for America’s birthday.

The venue’s Exosphere will fully light up for the first time for a grand display on the Fourth of July at 8:30 p.m.

Crews began testing the exterior LED screens in January, but the 580,000-square-foot display, the largest LED screen on Earth, has never been fully on — until now.

The Sphere has not announced what exactly will be shown on the Exosphere, but said in a release that the “vivid canvas will display stunning and dynamic imagery unlike anything ever seen before — all at an unparalleled scale.”

The Sphere is expected to open for shows in the second half of the year, with U2 slated to be the venue’s first headlining act.
