LAS VEGAS

This innovative and unprecedented music venue is a strategic dream collaboration which will bring together unique venue design with next-generation technology from a variety of Elon Musk’s Companies including Tesla, Tesla Solar Panels, Tesla Powerwall Batteries, and the Boring Company unveiling point-to-point transportation from the Airport to the Barrel.

City Winery founder Michael Dorf explains, “Imagine if Elon wanted to build the ideal concert venue that was acoustically perfect, incorporated the ultimate in hospitality and modern wine distribution, and was beyond 100% carbon neutral, but put more energy back into the grid—well, this is what we are announcing today.”

Let’s start with the arrival at Las Vegas International Airport where guests will be invited to Terminal X, the new transportation hub that is connected to a series of tunnels to support the all-electric, zero-emissions VIP transportation system. Each mini-bus resembles a barrel shape and holds 8 people comfortably for their 75-second ride directly to the Venue. There they are greeted in the VIP lobby and escorted to one of more than 150 vertical tunnels that resemble an elevator to your seat.

The Barrel is twice the size of the recently opened Sphere with 35,000 seats, has 3x the high-resolution screens, and 4x as many speakers designed by Meyer Sound and is already 5x over budget. Remarkably, when seated, one feels as if every seat is in the front row. While the electrical consumption of the venue is approximately 45 kilowatt hours per month, the new Tesla Solar Panels on the exterior, disguised as real wood, will generate 150 kilowatt hours per month, putting more electric back into the grid. The Tesla Garage next door offers free power to any of the 3000 spaces reserved for concert goers. No gas cars are allowed in the exclusive garage.

In a scientific breakthrough in the City Winery labs along with the Boring Company’s micro tube division, the venue will unveil a giant tap wine, beer and tequila infrastructure providing taps at every seat. Using the “MytapApp” one simply orders their glass and from s system of over 180 miles of ¼ inch food-grade tubes and perfect pours arrives instantly. Using a system that cleans while sending argon gas “micro-barrels” to push the beverages, there is zero transmission loss in the lines from a central refrigeration hub. Under the Barrel X, there is a 100,000 square foot cellar where the actual barrels are stored and moved into pressurized stainless steel. Under the cellar is 100,000 square foot winery and distribution center. The beer is a collaboration with the Las Vegas Brewing Company and the Tequila is in red wine barrels in a partnership with Calirosa.

In the announcement today, Mr. Dorf stated, “Some might say it’s foolish, but this new venue certainly takes the concert and hospitality industry into the 22nd century, it is by no means in disrespect to the newly opened Sphere in Las Vegas. I recently saw U2 there and it was a remarkable, next level experience and I applaud Jim Dolan and the entire MSG team.”

But Dorf & Musk are trying to do something different with the Barrel. While already over budget at press time, the team is hoping to make up some of the deficit with electric donations. The Tesla parking garage will include an opportunity for fans to donate some power from their cars back to the grid in program called “Philanthrotricity.” Details of this program are still to be announced.

Set to open the Barrel with dates in 2025 is a special tribute to Crosby, Stills, and Nash featuring an unprecedented trio of voices of Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Jeff Tweedy. Special surprise guest Neil Young is confirmed for the opening week. Ticketing will be fully dynamic fan generated market level blockchain NFT’s and are on-sale today at

Tickets for the opening week are already trading at $30,000 each.
