U2 to Perform for the First Time in 4 Years in a New Las Vegas Venue Opening This Fall

“MSG Sphere’s advanced technology allows a legendary band like U2 to bring its music to life in entirely new ways."

Legendary rock band U2 has apparently found what it’s looking for – and it's on the Las Vegas strip.

The group, who announced their highly-anticipated return to Vegas via a Super Bowl commercial on Sunday, will be performing for the first time in four years at the brand new MSG Sphere, a state-of-the-art 20,000-guest capacity arena coming soon to the Venetian this fall.

“MSG Sphere’s advanced technology allows a legendary band like U2 to bring its music to life in entirely new ways," MSG's executive chairman and CEO James Dolan, said in a press release. The sphere is a new medium that will redefine entertainment.”

The eye-catching sphere-shaped venue appears to be a concert-goers dream featuring a ginormous 16k wrap-around screen, 4-D effects, and top of the line sound technologies. Not to mention, the company said it’s the largest spherical-shaped structure on earth.

While Paul David Hewson, better known by his stage name “Bono”, is set to perform, the Achtung Baby Live tour will go on without band member and drummer Larry Mullen Jr., who is recuperating from a recent surgery, the press release noted.

“It’s going to take all we’ve got to approach the Sphere without our bandmate in the drum seat, but Larry has joined us in welcoming Bram van dem Berg, who is a force in his own right,” the band members said in a joint statement.

The band added that the Vegas show has been in the works for awhile and they are excited to get back to their fans. (And perhaps U2 fans will recall that U2's music video for “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m looking For” was filmed on the streets of Sin City in 1987.)
