This is not a picture of the stage. It's a painting/graphic from the tour program, which probably comes from the design they had before the stage was built. I'm sure it looks a bit different in real life, although that gives us an idea.

i have a feeling this show is gonna be heavy on the lighting

 

[zoopop]

The stage is similar to Elevation but way more slick. More of a modern Elevation stage. I do like it and I can't wait to see the lights.

 

[Val]

Is that the stage?

 

[u2wedge]

That sketch looks like one of my renderings from a while back... It's not real

what program did you use to do that? that's pretty cool.

 

[Charlilaur86]

Any way to make that pic bigger?

I think this will be the adress for the video (Quicktime High Quality)

There are no risers on the stage. I was there on Saturday night at the rehearsal.

The easiest way to describe the stage is tripping the light fantastic. The lighting scheme is incredible but the staging itself is basically Elevation Tour Part II. Instead of a heart, its oval.

ok, now that looks super sweet.

Unless the so-called platforms (that we have heard mentioned on more than one occasion) go up and down and you didn't see it last night because they left them all down...

Was the stage all at the same level, or were Larry's drums quite higher?

Most definitely is, it was on Saturday night.

People dont get your knickers too excited. If you saw Elevation, you saw Vertigo. Only difference this time is the video screens are a bit bigger, the lighting more dramatic and the walkway is oval rather than heart.

The risers etc are non existant.

The Vertigo Tour Stage

Check out this pic of the Vertigo Tour stage from inside the tour program:

Looks very good to me!

What I like is that it appears that the stage juts further out in the crowd than the Elevation Heart, giving more GA people a better chance to get up close to the stage and those who are in nosebleeds a better chance at actually seeing the concert!

THANKS U2 - I knew that you'd come through for us.

sorry if this is a double post

 

[bonosleftone]

Jeez doesnt that look familiar.

IMO they dropped the ball on stage design this time around, virtually nothing is different.

Looks like very few u2.com presale people won the lottery and got in the oval.

That does not look promising

 

[U2dork]

It does have that teetering effect. It's very clean looking.

The drums were raised but there were no rising platforms or transformer type stage changes. The drums were not remarkably raised at all, just like Elevation.

 

[indigo tree]

Very nice, though I'd like to see it from more angles.

 

[starsgoblue]

ok, now that looks super sweet.

Told you so.

 

[mikal]

that's odd. it looks like there are about 50 people packed in outside the oval, yet maybe about 10 actually inside it, lol

now, keep in mind, you may feel different after the show if the lights are as spectacular as people have said.

If its a random drawing theres still people filing in hoping for the beep. Also could be a line of people waiting to get the damn wristband.

ok, now THOSE look disappointing.

looks almost EXACTLY like elevation!

 

[ultrraviolette]

What section is this under on U2.com?

I was there on Saturday night lmao. I think my opinion has a bit of weight to it. Its not remarkably changed from Elevation at all. I was hoping for something very different but its very minor changes if any at all.
