Following the critical and commercial success of U2’s grand opening residency at Sphere Las Vegas, the Irish rock band has just announced the premiere of V-U2 An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas. The live concert film was directed by the Edge and Morgleigh Steinberg, with the U2 guitarist also producing the picture along with bandmates Bono and Adam Clayton, and Alan Moloney. V-U2 is the first film shot with Big Sky, a high-resolution camera system developed by Sphere Entertainment, and it will begin screening at Sphere starting on September 5. “The goal was to give the immersive movie goers as close to the live U2:UV concert experience as possible — and then some,” says the Edge. “I’ve never seen a U2 show. I’m so relieved I caught a great one.” Tickets for “V-U2” start at $100, and they will initially be made available to U2.com subscribers beginning on August 22 at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster.
