Paul McCartney is a very busy man these days. He recently dropped a new single with The Beatles, "Now and Then," which became a quick global hit and helped him make history in a number of ways. He is also in the middle of touring Brazil, with dates into the end of 2023. On top of that, he's also got a successful podcast, and likely other projects in the works. Now, according to one report, he might be considering heading to Las Vegas for a very special reason.
According to the New York Post, McCartney is one of a select few names being considered as the next act to headline the Sphere. The team in charge of the multi-billion dollar high-tech venue is on the hunt for a second name that is popular enough to bring in huge crowds and prestigious enough to keep the brand strong, and McCartney could be just the right fit.
The venue was inaugurated only a few weeks ago by U2. The band's appropriately-titled U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere concert residency launched in late September, and while it was initially set to run only a few weeks, the group extended it. Now, the rockers have dates into February 2024, but after that, nothing is scheduled.
