Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich is already looking forward to the Sphere, which has already been used by U2.
"About 12 seconds into the opening night of the Sphere with U2 in 2023, I thought: 'We have to do this, this is completely new territory!'" Ulrich is quoted as saying in the US magazine "Rolling Stone," among others.
With the immersive technology of the Sphere, the 360-degree view, light, and soundscape will likely shatter all previous dimensions of a metal concert! The Eagles, the Backstreet Boys, and No Doubt have already experienced this Sphere dome in Las Vegas.
