Irish rock legends U2 kicked off their three-month Las Vegas residency at The Sphere on Friday night to around 20,000 fans including some superstar audience members such as Dr Dre, Bryan Cranston and Paul McCartney
Fans have been blown away by a game-changing new venue in the heart of Las Vegas that engulfs them in the world’s largest LED screen, as music legends U2 launch their Las Vegas residency.
The incredible structure, which is home to the Irish rockers for three months as they put on their ‘U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere’ show, stands at 516 feet wide and 366 feet tall. Taking up around two city blocks, it’s taller than a football field is long and is the world’s largest spherical-shaped venue according to designers. Fans have been enthralled by the immersive stage visuals as they share their incredible experiences inside the venue.
Walls of video screens make up the world’s largest LED screen, which envelops the audience in its visuals as well as 164,000 speakers providing pristine sound and 4D capabilities. At the first show on Friday night, the legendary band, who have won 22 Grammys, performed for two hours.
