This past weekend, U2 (Bono, The Edge and Adam Clayton with Bram van den Berg) lit up The Sphere stage with a mind-blowing opening of their highly-anticipated U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere shows at the launch of the cutting-edge venue. The 25-date run of shows celebrates the band’s acclaimed album Achtung Baby, as well as its accompanying industry-defining ZOO TV Tour which broke the mold. U2 provided fans a fully immersive experience, utilizing every part of The Sphere’s LED screen – the world’s largest and highest-resolution – into a gallery that showcased bespoke art while performing on a turntable stage.
