- Inside U2’s Boundary-Breaking Immersive Live Show – The Edge says the band’s forthcoming Las Vegas residency is the “dawn of a new creative genre.”
- On September 29, U2 will launch a multi-date residency at the Sphere, a brand-new, perfectly round venue at the Venetian Resort that promises something far grander in a Vegas show than Adele setting fire to the rain. Clad in 580,000 square feet of fully programmable 2K LED screens, the building is the largest spherical structure in the world, holding a multilevel atrium, production spaces, and a 20,000-capacity venue inside.
Setting up shop in the new space is a big undertaking for the band—and for the future of live music. If U2’s Sphere show succeeds, it could help set a precedent for what’s possible.
- Inside the Sphere, a massive 16K-by-16K screen wraps the showroom—even going back and around concertgoers’ heads. The aim is for the venue to be an entirely immersive experience, right down to patrons’ haptic seats, so that guests can “feel” the show. The venue has environmental effect capabilities, too, meaning production staff can blow targeted gusts of wind at visitors who might be watching footage of a car racing by, or even introduce a scent into the room in an effort to heighten the overall experience. (Think Disney’s Soarin’ Around the World but on a much, much larger scale, with fewer dangling feet and potentially much more booze.)
