U2 officially announced on Super Bowl Sunday that they will stage concerts dedicated to 'Achtung Baby' to launch Las Vegas' new MSG Sphere
. The official announcement came Sunday, with a mysterious UFO-themed ad for the ‘U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At The Sphere’ shows this fall.“The Sphere show has been in the works for a long time. We don’t want to let people down, least of all our audience… the truth is we miss them as much as they appear to miss us… our audience was always the fifth member of the band,” U2 said in a statement.
“Bottom line, U2 hasn’t played live since December 2019 and we need to get back on stage and see the faces of our fans again. And what a unique stage they’re building for us out there in the desert… We’re the right band,the right album, and the Sphere the right venue to take the live experience of music to the next level… That’s what U2’s been trying to do all along with our satellite stages and video installations, most memorably on the ZOO TV Tour, which ended in Tokyo 30 years ago this fall.
However, the Sphere shows will mark the band’s first-ever concerts without drummer Larry Mullen Jr., who is sitting out the 2023 dates in order to recuperate from a. Drummer Bram van den Berg will fill in for Mullen at the Sphere concerts. “It’s going to take all we’ve got to approach the Sphere without our bandmate in the drum seat, but Larry has joined us in welcoming Bram van den Berg who is a force in his own right,” Bono, the Edge and Adam Clayton said in a statement.
