U2 have announced an immersive concert film chronicling the band’s residency at Sphere in Las Vegas
V-U2 An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas, directed by Morleigh Steinberg and The Edge, showcases the history-making run of U2:UV shows that played to more than 700,000 fans from 100+ countries across 40 sold-out dates from September 2023 through March 2024.
V-U2 is the first film ever to be shot entirely with Big Sky, the groundbreaking ultra-high-resolution camera system developed by Sphere Entertainment.
The concert film’s co-directors spoke about the filmmaking process:
“The goal was to give the immersive movie goers 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.
“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 Steinberg.
V-U2 will open at Sphere, Las Vegas, on September 5. Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.com. Tickets start at $100.
