"Sphere is more than just a venue, it’s a gallery and U2’s music is going to be all over the walls," said U2 on the upcoming venue.
Sphere Entertainment Co. and Live Nation have just announced dates for ‘U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere', a first-of-its-kind live music experience which will see the award-winning Dublin rock-band launch the world’s most cutting-edge venue, Sphere at The Venetian in Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas performances will celebrate Achtung Baby, the group's seventh studio album - which was released in 1991.
"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," said the band in a recent release.
Sphere is a next-generation entertainment medium, featuring a 16K x 16K LED display inside the main venue bowl that wraps up, over, and around the audience. The venue also features Sphere Immersive Sound, the world’s most advanced concert audio system, which delivers a surrounding crystal-clear sound.

"The beauty of Sphere is not only the ground-breaking technology that will make it so unique, with the world’s most advanced audio system, integrated into a structure which is designed with sound quality as a priority; it’s also the possibilities around immersive experience in real and imaginary landscapes," affirmed U2 guitarist, The Edge, concluding:
"In short, it’s a canvas of an unparalleled scale and image resolution and a once-in-a-generation opportunity. We all thought about it and decided we’d be mad not to accept the invitation.”
