The iconic group gave an electrifying performance, as their set was first projected onto the exterior of the awe-inspiring venue before cameras took viewers inside the space. Once fans got an inside look at the “With or Without You” band close up on the stage, the frontman gave a commanding performance while strobe lights and visuals were synchronized perfectly to the song’s beat.
As Bono repeated, “Atomic City / Atomic City / Atomic Sun for everyone / For everyone,” it’s as if he was inviting the Grammys audience to join them at Sphere.
This year’s award show is being held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, but fans didn’t need to be in L.A. or Vegas to catch a glimpse of U2’s incredible residency show.
Viewers were able to marvel at Sphere’s 16K wraparound LED screen and 167,000 speakers inside the 366-foot-tall orb from the comfort of their own homes during Sunday’s ceremony.
The segment also featured a special awards presentation, as Bono announced the winner for best pop vocal album, which went toTaylor Swiftfor her 2022 projectMidnights.
