Remarks:
U2 performs the thirty first of forty shows at the Sphere at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas. Attendance is 18,600; a sellout. Tickets range from $140 to $500 (for presale ticket prices) but many sell at resale prices of $400 to $1,450. The opening music act is Pauli "The PSM" Lovejoy, who is the official Atomic MC / DJ host of the UV Dance Party opening each U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere concert.
"Party Girl" is performed for the first time since November 3, 2015 in London, during tonight's turntable set. Afterwards, comedian Chris Rock, who is at the show, is honored by Bono with a "Happy Birthday" singalong. Tonight's 31st concert at the Sphere breaks a record for most performances by U2 (sans Larry Mullen Jr.) in one venue, beating out Madison Square Garden in NYC.
