On September 5, U2 fans will have the opportunity to experience something truly special. The V-U2: An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas will debut on that date, promising to give viewers a unique glimpse into the band’s U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere residency. Directed by Morleigh Steinberg and The Edge, this film was shot using the revolutionary Big Sky camera system from Sphere Entertainment.
The goal of V-U2 is to transport moviegoers into the heart of a U2 concert, providing an experience that is as close to the real thing as possible. The Edge himself expressed his satisfaction with the final product, stating that he had never seen a U2 show before and was relieved that his first experience was a great one. This film truly captures the energy and beauty of the live show, thanks to the collaboration between the band, artists, producers, and technology teams.
The film showcases U2’s Willie Williams-directed Sphere residency, which consisted of 40 shows and attracted over 700,000 attendees. This residency is just one of the many highlights in U2’s extensive career, which spans almost half a century. The band, which originated in Dublin in 1976, still features the original lineup of The Edge, Bono, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullin Jr.
U2 has become synonymous with thrilling live performances, having sold out stadiums across the globe and won an impressive 22 Grammy Awards. With over 53 million albums sold in the U.S. alone, U2 has left an indelible mark on the music industry. The band’s dedication to their craft and their ability to connect with audiences have made them one of the most iconic bands of all time.
While the duration of V-U2’s screening at Sphere is still uncertain, one thing is for sure – the show must go on. For those unable to make it to Sin City for the premiere, this immersive concert film promises to be a treat for all U2 fans.
