U2 have added another 11 dates to their run of U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere dates. The band had originally confirmed just five shows at MSG Sphere at The Venetian, Las Vegas, becoming the first live act to perform at the new venue, 

A total of 31 dates have now been added to the original five, with the new dates running between January 28 and February 16 next year. Tickets for the new dates go on sale on October 25 (full dates below). 

U2 played their first show at Sphere to rave reviews on September 29.

"Sphere is more than just a venue, it’s a gallery and U2’s music is going to be all over the walls,” says U2 guitarist The Edge. "The beauty of Sphere is not only the ground-breaking technology that will make it so unique, with the world’s most advanced audio system, integrated into a structure which is designed with sound quality as a priority; it’s also the possibilities around immersive experience in real and imaginary landscapes. 

"In short, it’s a canvas of an unparalleled scale and image resolution and a once-in-a-generation opportunity. We all thought about it and decided we’d be mad not to accept the invitation."

In February the band also announced that drummer Larry Mullen Jr. would not be taking to the stage while he recuperates from surgery, and that the vacant drum stool would be filled by Bram van den Berg, drummer with Dutch band Krezip. 

Amongst the many features you'll find at MSG Sphere that won't be found at your local dive bar are an "immersive display plane" that wraps up, over and around the audience, the highest resolution LED screen in the known universe, 10,000 seats with "Infrasound Haptic System", the world's largest "Beamforming Audio System" and super high-speed broadband.
