Iconic rock band returns to the Las Vegas Strip for a new residency.
New headliner residencies on the Las Vegas Strip can generate excitement that attracts audiences from around the world.
Superstar rock band U2's residency U2/UV Achtung Baby Live at the Sphere at Sphere Entertainment's SPHR 20,000-seat Sphere at the Venetian was the most anticipated headliner residency to debut on the Strip possibly since Celine Dion revitalized the popularity of Las Vegas residencies with her "A New Day" residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace from 2003 to 2007.
Dion's "A New Day" combined with her follow-up residency "Celine" (2011-2019) earned the most of any residency performer on the Strip with a total gross of $681.3 million, according to Casino.org.
U2 originally signed on for 25 shows from Sept. 29- Dec. 16, but in October extended the residency by 11 more shows that resume on Jan. 26 and wrap up Feb. 18. The Sphere has not indicated if U2 might extend the residency further or who will be the next headliner to perform a residency at the Sphere.
