Sphere Entertainment Co. and Live Nation has announced the heavily anticipated “U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere,” a first-of-its-kind live music experience, happening at the brand new Sphere at The Venetian in Las Vegas this fall. Due to high demand, the band has added additional shows, bringing the total number to 17.
The long-awaited confirmed dates of this special run come after U2 dropped a sneak peek in a Super Bowl commercial back in February. The dates at the Sphere mark the band’s first live outing in four years, with Bono and The Edge saying, “U2 hasn’t played live since December 2019 and we need to get back on stage and see the faces of our fans again. And what a unique stage they’re building for us out there in the desert… We’re the right band, ACHTUNG BABY the right album, and Sphere the right venue to take the live experience of music to the next level.”
The Sphere, curated by Madison Square Garden Entertainment, is becoming the next-generation entertainment medium, bringing wonder to the world and redefining the future of live entertainment, where artists, creators, and technologies will create extraordinary experiences, taking storytelling to a new level. The venue will transform the concert-going experience with innovative technologies that include a 16K x 16K LED display inside the main venue bowl that wraps up, over, and around the audience, creating a fully immersive visual environment. The Sphere also has the world’s most advanced concert audio system, featuring crystal-clear audio and 10,000 immersive seats including a system that utilizes deep vibrations so guests can feel the rumble of thunder or a roaring motorcycle.
The group went on to say that “Sphere is more than just a venue, it’s a gallery and U2’s music is going to be all over the walls.” The visuals are so integral to the performances, that The Edge has said this show will only happen at this venue, and the band cannot tour this show outside of that setting.
Acknowledged as one of the best live acts in the world, U2, formed in Dublin in 1978, has since toured the globe countless times, released 14 studio albums, sold over 170 million albums, and won numerous awards, including 22 Grammys and Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience award. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005 and have twice been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. U2 has consistently pushed the boundaries of live performance, with ground-breaking stage shows that embrace the latest in technology and innovation. They will be the first musical act at the Sphere but acts such as Phish are in talks to have their own residency coming soon.
