U2 360º Tour

U2 always brings a serious production to their tours and have always pushed the limit.  For their new 360º Tour, they hired Hoberman Associates who teamed up with Innovative Designs to create a stainless steel and aircraft aluminum structure with a display made of 888 LED screens, with 500,000 pixels spanning across them, providing concertgoers with clear and visually stunning images from all angles thus the name of the tour 360º.  It has a screen area of 3,800 square feet, and weighs approximately 120,000 pounds. Also check out Bono’s laser jacket after the jump.

The leather jacket has 240 red lasers shooting out of it, make sure to wear your protective goggles if you plan on going to this tour.

His swinging mike is also a little crazy as well!

    I got to catch a glimpse of their show on their 2005 tour I was stuck working the elevators that night. That set was phenomenal I can’t believe they topped that. I don’t even have the words to describe, looks like the stadium is about to leave the earth lol
