Building The '360°' Stage

'To boldly go where no man has ever been..' That's how one of the build crew in the village of Werchter, Belgium, described the ambition behind U2's new touring production. It's going to give you 'a tingle down the back of the spine.'

Using time-lapse photography, this exclusive clip reveals how the structure of the new stage finally rose from the ground - the first glimpse of what we can expect to see on tour.

Thanks for the inside look at the build. Any time I see something as amazing as this, I always wonder how they manage to put it together. I think i will watch that footage again. Can't wait for the shows to start!

This kinda reminds me of the mechanical monster in the film Wild, Wild West with Will Smith. But this is going to be 360 times better!
