U2 is set to make history Friday as the first band ever to take the stage at Sphere, a cutting-edge spherical venue that graces the Las Vegas skyline.
The performance will be the band's first concert of their residency series at Sphere, which is located at The Venetian Resort and has a programmable LED exterior for displaying wrap-around motion graphics. The venue is equipped with an astounding 160,000 speakers and over 260 million video pixels — which offers awe-inspiring visuals.
The band recently had their first rehearsal there — and it"didn't go very well," Bono said, laughing.CBS News "That's what we started out wanting from the very beginning of the band is just to smash the fourth wall, get to our audience," Bono said. Willie Williams, U2's creative director for more than 40 years, who designed the U2 360° Tour, said he has"no idea" how the audience will respond when they see the inside of Sphere.
