U2 are releasing a film based on their residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
V-U2 An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas, directed by Morleigh Steinberg and her husband, U2 guitarist The Edge, showcases their U2:UV show that played to over 700,000 fans from 100-plus 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 ultra-high-resolution camera system developed by Sphere Entertainment that allows audiences to feel like they are at the live shows.
The Edge says, "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."
And his wife adds, "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.”
V-U2 will open at the Sphere on September 5th. U2.com subscribers have first access to pre-sale tickets today at 12:00 p.m. CT through Friday at 11:00 a.m. CT via Ticketmaster.com.
