Since 30 June 2009 the U2 360’ tour has been stunning audiences worldwide. Igniting stages in Europe, North America, Oceania, South America and now coming to South Africa; U2 is set to perform 110 times until 30 July 2011.
The tickets are sold out! This means you are left with two options; win the tickets or buy them at inflated prices online. The point here is that you have to be there to experience this record breaking concert.
U2 has been trotting the globe with the world’s largest concert stage structure, the Claw. You do not have to love architecture to know that this is fine work. The Claw is under assembly at the FNB Stadium. It looks like something from the movie the Fifth Element. All the visual stimulation it provides will have you believing that you are watching a flick.
The 50-metre high four-legged steel structure holds a cylindrical 500 000 Mega Pixel video system over a massive stage with rotating bridges. The stage set features a 360-degree configuration (hence the tour name) this unique design affords fans the opportunity to surround the entire stage as it has no definite front and back, cool huh? This is the tomorrow of live entertainment!
So U2 is coming to town and after 33 years in the business, they still know how to keep it fresh. This is a great substitute for the drop in CD sales. While U2 is smiling all the way to bank, you too can be the first to experience live concerts in 3D. No wonder 50 cent has his claws in 3D technology; this is big bucks.
Call me shallow but the only reason I will go to this concert, is if they bring Jay Z! For more info on the tour click here
