The reviews are in for U2’s Sphere show and they didn’t hold back on the immersive experience for fans.

Rolling Stone called the debut Sphere show a “quantum leap forward for concerts,” both in terms of the “ludicrous scope” of the gigantic domed venue (which is basically just an enormous screen wrapped around the inside of a bowl) and in terms of the surprisingly good acoustics of the place. The Guardian said that U2 brought a “hitherto-unimagined degree of grandiosity” with the show, which is exactly the kind of flowery phrasing that this thing demands.
