U2 will reportedly be the first show at the new MSG Sphere concert and event venue just off the Las Vegas Strip when it opens next year, according to Billboard.

Billboard also reports the show will mark the maiden performance of a residency for U2, the 22-time Grammy-winning rock band that most recently played in Las Vegas in 2018 at T-Mobile Arena.

The $1.8 billion MSG Sphere, a partnership between Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. and the Venetian, is considered the largest spherical structure ever created.

It will provide concertgoers a multi-sensory experience of sound and light, including a sound system with more than 164,000 individual speakers.
