Latest rumor is that the Sphere wanted the band to play more shows but Bono declined.

Once they saw the tickets fly for the 2024 dates, it was going to end at 40 shows because Bono is gonna Bono. It also leaves the public wanting more, keeps up demand for the next full tour and avoids any comparisons with what the other band(s) playing the venue this year do.
well, sure - but a lot of this is dependent upon Larry. if Larry still isn't good to go - then they won't be recording this year, and certainly won't be going on a world tour anytime soon.They need to make a record this year so they can tour next year. I can't see how they have time for another 8 weeks in the Sphere, sad though that must be for people who haven't had a chance to see it yet.
Nothing stopping them doing another run in '27 though. Hell, maybe with another album/set of songs as the focus.

All they have to do is be on stage at some point live during the grammys for 1 song.Would appear the Grammy’s thingy is going to be pre-recorded as Postcards from Earth is playing on 2/4. Wonder if they’ll film something specifically for the show during next week’s shows or just throw up some stock stuff (god knows they have enough of it at this point).
FWIW, word from U2 songs points to Atomic City.I have doubts that it'll be Atomic City, actually.
I mean it'll PROBABLY be Atomic City, but I wouldn't be stunned if they did The Fly.
And I think it's likely that it'll be pre-recorded from the night before
