This should come as no surprise. The Sphere shows have been a big success. Given that James Dolan and Co. have failed to find a follow-up act for U2, it's also not surprising that they are extending the one act in town.
U2's Sphere shows are a celebration of their 1991 album, Achtung Baby. They are playing the album in full for the very first time. Even if you're not a fan of the band, you can't deny the visual spectacle. As someone who has attended a show, I can definitively say that internet videos don't do it justice. This is the future of live music, though it remains unclear who can fill the big shoes that U2 will leave to fill once they are done.
“U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere” will continue through February 18.
