Trey Anastasio Confirms Acoustic August 2022 Concerts At Beacon Theatre

Trey Anastasio will return to The Beacon Theatre in New York City for acoustic concerts on August 19 and 20. The two-night stand will feature the debut of Sphere Immersive Sound, described as “the world’s most advanced concert audio system.”

“We’re thrilled to welcome Trey Anastasio back to the Beacon Theatre, but even more so to have him be the first artist to utilize our incredible new audio technology,” said Jim Dolan, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, MSG Entertainment in a press release. “Trey and his team have always embraced innovation, so it made perfect sense to work with them these last few months on how we begin to introduce Sphere Immersive Sound. This will be an incredibly special acoustic performance, where the audience will truly experience the clarity and purity of his sound.”

“I was lucky enough to experience a demo of Sphere Immersive Sound, and it’s truly unbelievable,” added Anastasio. “I am thrilled to be able to debut this cutting-edge technology at the Beacon Theatre, one of my favorite venues in the world.”

Read a description of Sphere Immersive Sound provided by MSG Entertainment below:

Sphere Immersive Sound uses 3D audio beamforming technology to deliver targeted, crystal-clear and uniform audio to every seat in the house – setting a new standard for sound quality in performance venues. Anastasio’s August performances will mark the first time that this audio innovation is being integrated into a performance venue, as well as the debut of MSG Sphere technology to audiences. Following these two concerts, future events at The Beacon will continue to utilize Sphere Immersive Sound. In addition to its integration at The Beacon, the full capabilities of this technology are being further customized and scaled for MSG Sphere – which will deliver unique and immersive listening experiences for audiences of up to 20,000 people.

The Beacon Theatre audio experience consists of five arrays, which are specifically tailored to the venue and direct sound to its four sections – orchestra, loge, lower balcony and upper balcony – with precision. Traditional speaker technology can deliver an inconsistent and uneven sound experience, but with beamforming technology, sound levels remain consistent from point of origin to destination – ensuring every audience member experiences the optimal sound mix, regardless of where they’re seated.

Anastasio is currently on the road with Phish. The band kicks off a two-night stand at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York tonight (Tuesday, July 26). Watch a livestream via LivePhish.com.
