On September 29, U2 will launch a multi-date residency at the Sphere 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. In an era when Beyoncé sells onstage riser seats and Rihannausing a streamlined floating red stage, fans are clearly clamoring for more and more visual spectacle and access, as well as for a deeper look inside the artists’ creative minds.
“Where U2 really thrives is in this place of pure experimentation and discovery, and where we can do something that we’ve never done before—and in this case, where we can do something that no one else has ever done before,” U2 guitarist The Edge tells WIRED.
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.
