U2 fans soon in Vegas? According to information from the American media Billboard, the Irish group will be the first to play at the MSG Sphere, a new spherical and futuristic room at The Venetian hotel and casino complex that will open in 2023.
The U2 concerts will be part of a multi-month residency and will not be played on consecutive days. The quartet, led by Bono and The Edge, is the tour’s second-highest-grossing band behind the Rolling Stones, according to Billboard, with 28.3 million tickets sold and $2.22 billion in revenue.
MSG Entertainment, the company behind MSG Sphere, and the U2 team have yet to confirm the media information.
One last tour in 2019
MSG Sphere is a massive $1.8 billion project that promises fans a multi-sensory experience of light and sound inside the largest spherical structure ever built. It will have capacity for 20,000 spectators standing or 17,500 seated.
This new series of concerts comes three years after U2’s last tour, the Joshua Tree Tour, in 2019, during which the Irish visited Asia and Oceania. They recently performed in Kyiv, to give a surprise concert in the subway, several months after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
