'Are you ready to have your mind blown?'

'Are you ready to have your mind blown?'

A question in a review of the opening night. (Answer? We were.)

Was it really two years ago that U2:UV Achtung Baby took off at Sphere in Las Vegas?
Here's ten highlights from those forty nights in the desert. And if you're looking for more,  you can find the best photo gallery here and the best video gallery here.

Were you at one of the shows? Add your memories in the comments below.

This is what it was like inside Sphere as the band took to the stage on opening night.

We were wowed by that first show… and so were the critics.

You wouldn't want to miss the pre-show party with DJ Pauli. 

Every night was a Beautiful Day and Las Vegas was always an Atomic City

We missed Larry, recovering from surgery. Here's how Bono introduced Bram

Night after night it was even better than Even Better Than The Real Thing.

There were the deepest of deep cuts like Adam recalling that base line to Seconds all the way back from 'War'. 

It was a show where a song might be seen from a different view completely, like  'Ultraviolet (Light My Way)'.

'We love you, Larry Mullen, Jr.'. Larry was back in the house before the final curtain fell.

And it all came to a close with a new song… which is not new at all but never gets old.

Amazing
Was there for the first two shows, last two shows and 4 shows in between. All were spectacular. Sound was off the charts. Visually stunning. Really missed Larry, but Bram van den Berg did an amazing job filling in. The Sphere was made for music/sound. Hope they perform there again.

Ready for the laughing gas (and round #2
Lucky enough to have seen 6 shows over the course of 2 trips to Vegas…a mind blowing experience. Visually stunning and at times emotionally overwhelming…I find myself still going on YouTube to relive the moments. Can’t wait to see the boys back on the road…fingers crossed for a 2026 tour!

Amazing from the floor!
I was there in December and again in February. Both times on the floor, 10 feet from The Edge and Bono. Incredible! A dream come true and a bucket list item checked off! Time for some new songs and a tour!

I was there…
Yep, I was there opening night. It was definitely a Vegas crowd… but we tried our best to make it a U2 crowd. Travelled from Liverpool to vegas for the weekend, I think I’m still paying for it 2 years later. Worth it, with no social media spoilers it was an amazing unique experience! What a night! x

Please again!
I spent 4 unforgettable nights, including one of the best evenings of my life in November. There should be another run of shows in Las Vegas because it was such a crazy and unique experience.

Breathtaking
I was at the first two dates and the last two. A unique and unforgettable experience. The show was breathtaking. And it was incredible to witness this kind of pilgrimage with fans from all over the world coming to see their favourite band and support them in this fantastic chapter of their career. Now we are waiting for you with a new album and a new tour. Please come back to Europe soon! I love you!
