U2 have announced the dates for their U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere residency.
The renowned Irish rockers will headline the Sphere at The Venetian in Las Vegas on September 29 and 30, and October 5, 7 and 8. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on April 28. However, that is only if tickets remain following the pre-sales.
For access to tickets, you must register with the Ticketmaster Verified Fan scheme by 10am ET on April 26.
U2 will be the first act to perform in the new venue, which boasts 160,000 square feet of video viewing space, and an exterior exosphere that changes the look of the building via LED technology.
The run of shows, which celebrate their 1991 album 'Achtung Baby', will be without drummer Larry Mullen Jr., who will be recovering from back surgery. Bram van den Berg will step in as his replacement.
For a taste of what to expect, head below to watch the band's recent interview with Zane Lowe, which saw them take him on a tour of the venue. Bono, The Edge and Adam Clayton said in a statement:
“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.
"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. We all thought about it and decided we’d be mad not to accept the invitation.”
U2's latest album is 'Songs of Surrender', which came out this March.
