U2 Will be there doing shows until December; They have a deal with TicketMaster that allows them to profit from the secondary ticket market (legal scalping, AFAIC) which according to one report I read could gross them upwards of a billion dollars for this gig.
The clip that Baz posted of U2 at TLVS most likely didn't do the experience justice, (fan filmed from a phone) but it looked pretty interesting. (Technical problems for The Edge?)
I can't think of a modern singer or band that interests me that could do The Sphere justice, but I'd imagine that maybe Taylor Swift or Beyonce would probably pretty easily eclipse the U2 numbers.
( I'll bet the creatives at Cirque du Soleil or BlueManGroup could wow the crowds with the potential that The Sphere offers.)
