So far, U2 has performed nine sold-out shows at the venue since kicking off the shows on Sept. 29. “U2: UV Achtung Baby Live” marked U2’s first live performances in four years, with Sphere the only venue in the world where fans can see the show. With mind-blowing visuals that fully immerse fans into the show, the venue and set highlight the best modern-day technology has to offer.
“Jim Dolan, thank you for the Sphere, you’re one mad bastard, one mad bastard,” Bono said during the band’s opening night performance.
