Hero Zone: Where Social VR Meets Real-World Revenue -
Oprah Winfrey will headline four shows of AHA at Sphere in Las Vegas from 2 to 4 April 2027. Winfrey announced the two-hour production, billed as Oprah Winfrey’s AHA, on 14 September 2026.
Tickets start at $145. The general on-sale opens on 25 September 2026 at 10 a.m. Pacific time. Live Nation presents the shows.
The event’s website, AHAlive.com, says AHA was “exclusively designed for Sphere.” Variety quoted the press release’s description of a “journey of light, sound, music, storytelling, nature and shared humanity.”
Winfrey will appear on stage with seven-time Grammy winner Jacob Collier, poet and author Ocean Vuong, musician Ajeet and gospel singer Wintley Phipps.
The musical direction and original music come from composer Max Richter, vocal director Jason White and electronic artist Jon Hopkins. Tarell Alvin McCraney, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Moonlight, wrote AHA. The artist Es Devlin and the Plum Village Monks contribute original works.
Ethan Tobman directs. Baz Halpin, founder and chief executive of Silent House Group, produces.
AHAlive.com says the four shows will use Sphere’s LED display, which wraps over and around the audience, and its Sphere Immersive Sound system.
“‘AHA’ is a dream that came to me as I sat in awe at the opening night of U2 at the Sphere,” Winfrey said in a statement.
U2 opened Sphere in 2023 with a residency, Billboard reported. The Hollywood Reporter named the Eagles, Dead & Company and No Doubt among the acts that have played residencies since.
Sphere also runs original films, The Hollywood Reporter reported. The first was Darren Aronofsky’s documentary Postcard From Earth, followed by The Wizard of Oz at Sphere.
The Wizard of Oz ran 220 performances in the three months to 30 June 2026, according to Sphere Entertainment’s second-quarter results. Sphere Entertainment has said its next production, The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Sphere, arrives in 2027.
The Hollywood Reporter reported that the Winfrey weekend “may be another strategy the venue pursues, thinking beyond the films and concerts to larger experiential fare.”
AHA runs four shows over one weekend at Sphere. In the three months to 30 June 2026, The Wizard of Oz ran 220 performances there.
