“My hope is that this will be a kind of quantum leap forward in the sense of what a concert can be,” U2 guitarist the Edge told Rolling Stone about their latest tour. U2 officially kicked off their U2:UV Achtung Baby Live Las Vegas residency on September 29, 2023 at the newly-built Sphere concert venue.

Sphere has been under construction for the past five years near the Venetian resort, with building costs reportedly topping $2 billion. Billing itself as the “world’s largest spherical structure,” Sphere is 516 feet wide, 366 feet tall, and can seat 17,600 people. The venue also includes the highest-resolution LED screen on Earth, 10,000 vibrating “immersive seats,” environmental effects like temperature control and cool breezes, and 164,000 speakers.
“We will be able to deliver the audio that we want people to hear without any interference from the acoustics of the building,” says the Edge. “It’s just an amazing playpen for us.”

When Is the U2 Residency in Las Vegas?
The “Achtung Baby” residency launched on September 29, 2023 at the Sphere at the The Venetian in Las Vegas. One day after the residency was announced, due to overwhelming demand, more concerts were scheduled for October and November. Following the record-setting run, 11 more dates were announced, including two can’t-miss shows kicking off Super Bowl Weekend as the hottest ticket in town.
When Do U2 Achtung Baby Tickets Go On Sale?
General on-sale for U2’s Vegas residency went live on Wednesday, October 25, but you can still find plenty of verified resale tickets on Ticketmaster. General-admission floor seats will be nontransferable for any amount of money over face value.
U2 ticket prices start at $140 and reflect all-in pricing (this means the ticket price listed is the full out-of-pocket price including taxes and fees). The larger capacity at Sphere means 60% of tickets are under $300, and there will also be a limited number of premium priced tickets.
“We’re trying our best to be as fair and respectful to our fans as we can be,” says the Edge. “We’re also spreading out the ticket costs so that there are some affordable ones.”
How to Get Tickets to the U2 Sphere Shows in Vegas
