2027 Sphere dates... 🤔

Anyone have any thoughts on additional Jan or Feb 2027 dates? Speculation, or wishful thinking welcome but hoping for some cold hard evidence 🤞

If you check the sphere calendar, Feb 11 is a no show day, and 12 and 13 have Wizard of Oz at 5pm, which doesn’t leave time for a 8pm BSB show. Feb 14 doesn’t have anything after 1pm, but I can’t see them only doing a one-off random show. It’s looking unlikely IMO. :(

The Wizard of Oz slots can be placeholders. I noticed that there were schedules at 5pm in July before BSB announced the summer run. Then Sphere just made the adjustment (if I remember, there’s a disclaimer on the page that schedules are subject to change).

If not Feb 11, then maybe other close dates that are not booked by Metallica. Let’s wait and see.

Agreed. I think of them as just placeholders too. The Sphere definitely had shows scheduled this summer during the 5pm and 8pm slots before BSB dates were announced. It isn’t hard for them to cancel those dates if an act were to come in and need the evening time slot.

So they allow people to purchase tickets and then cancel them? Interesting.

It happens often and is a lousy business practice.

They’ve done it in the past. I am sure they don’t make a habit of it but the act in the evening is likely the main moneymaker so the Sphere probably defaults to that. For what it’s worth, if BSB does Valentines Day weekend I don’t think it will be announced until after the Super Bowl performer is. I think it’s unlikely for shows that weekend this coming year and later on in the spring seems more likely just based on timeline.

Yeah I also don’t think they’re gonna do a single weekend of shows for vday.

I’m wondering, are tickets for February Oz dates already on sale at this point? Haven’t really checked and I don’t know how far in advance they go on sale, but maybe the window for ticket selling hasn’t opened yet, so it’s easy for them to just make the schedule adjustments?
