Among the new dates are two shows on Super Bowl Weekend ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, which is scheduled for Allegiant Stadium — home of the Las Vegas Raiders, and itself a state-of-the-art facility — on Feb. 11.

Here’s a bit from Rock Cellar’s firsthand review of the U2 Las Vegas Sphere experience:
U2 raised the excitement level several notches during the encore with high adrenaline-fueled renditions of “Elevation,” “Atomic City” (a realistic Las Vegas strip scene courtesy Industrial Light & Magic was projected on the wall), “Vertigo” and a dramatic “Where the Streets Have No Name” (dressed up with an exact replica of the Mojave Desert landscape). The Edge had to quickly change guitars mid-song, but it didn’t detract from the sound. The band looked as if it was actually performing in the ocean on “With or Without You.” Finally, Devlin’s fascinating animal collage sculpture changed colors in tandem with the life-affirming lyrics of concert closer “Beautiful Day.”
All told, Sphere was definitely worth the hype, and U2 the perfect band to inaugurate it.
