U2 kicked off their “U2:uv Achtung Baby” residency at Las Vegas’ Msg Sphere on Friday night. The sphere, which cost $2.3 billion to construct, features a wraparound interior LED screen, 170,000 ultra-directional speakers that utilize beamforming technology to deliver targeted audio to every seat in the venue, and a haptic flooring system, among many other high-tech features.
Bono and co. made full use of these features as they ran through a 22-song set that included material from their 1991 studio album, Achtung Baby, as well as their new song “Atomic City” and classics like “Vertigo,” “Where the Streets Have No Name,” With or Without You,” and “Beautiful Day.”

During the mid-section, Bono revealed that the band plans to focus on a different album during that section – much like Taylor Swift‘s “secret songs” section of the Eras Tour.
Variety speculates that the band may have gone with Rattle and Hum songs on opening night because the album’s producer Jimmy Iovine was in the audience, alongside stars like Kate Hudson, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, as well as Paul McCartney.
