“My hope is that this will be a kind of quantum leap forward in the sense of what a concert can be,” U2 guitarist the Edge told Rolling Stone about their latest tour. U2 will kick off its U2:UV Achtung Baby Live Las Vegas residency on September 29, 2023 at the newly-built Sphere concert venue.

Sphere has been under construction for the past five years near the Venetian resort, with building costs reportedly topping $2 billion. Billing itself as the “world’s largest spherical structure,” Sphere is 516 feet wide, 366 feet tall, and can seat 17,600 people. The venue also includes the highest-resolution LED screen on Earth, 10,000 vibrating “immersive seats,” environmental effects like temperature control and cool breezes, and 164,000 speakers.

“We will be able to deliver the audio that we want people to hear without any interference from the acoustics of the building,” says the Edge. “It’s just an amazing playpen for us.”
