U2 have confirmed the dates for a run of shows where they will play ‘Achtung Baby’ in full at the new Sphere in Las Vegas.The band first announced the residency back in February during the Super Bowl, and later confirmed they would be playing their 1991 album in full, but not necessarily in order.
They will be the first band to play the 17,500-capacity Sphere, which is owned by the company that owns Madison Square Garden in New York.
The gigs will be the Irish quartet’s first since 2019.The shows will take place from September 29-30 and October 5, 7 and 8.The band said in response to the announcement: “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… That’s what U2’s been trying to do all along with our satellite stages and video installations, most memorably on the ZOO TV Tour, which ended in Tokyo 30 years ago this fall.”They continued: “Sphere is more than just a venue, it’s a gallery and U2’s music is going to be all over the walls.”The Edge added: “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.“In short, it’s a canvas of an unparalleled scale and image resolution and a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
