LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The Las Vegas Sphere is set to offer U2 fans an exclusive immersive concert film experience.
Sphere Entertainment Company announced on Wednesday the V-U2 concert film Sphere Experience will showcase the making of the first concert held at the Sphere.
Morleigh Steinberg and The Edge directed the film.
“We knew all the tremendous capabilities of the technology, but we didn’t know what to expect from the process of making this film. The work became a true collaboration between band, artists, producers, and technology teams. The end result is a cinematic experience that transports viewers into the energy and beauty of the live show,” said Morleigh Steinberg.
According to reports, the U2:UV concert show, directed by Willie Williams, was attended by over 700,000 fans.
The rock band welcomed fans from over 100 countries and played for 40 sold-out crowds at the Sphere from Sept. 2023 through March 2024.
The film is expected to make audiences feel like they are at the live shows.
“The goal was to give the immersive moviegoers as close to the live U2:UV concert experience as possible and then some. I’ve never seen a U2 show. I’m so relieved I caught a great one,” said The Edge.
“V-U2 is a first-of-its-kind immersive film that will transport audiences back to U2’s groundbreaking live Sphere shows,” said Josephine Vaccarello, Executive Vice President, Live, MSG Entertainment, who oversees live bookings for Sphere.
The film will exclusively play at the Sphere beginning September 5.
