In the first-ever broadcast performance from the multi-billion dollar Sphere, the 22-time Grammy Award winners will be joining a Grammy Awards line-up which includes the likes of Billy Joel, Luke Combs and Billie Eilish.
The Irish band's segment will also feature a Special Awards presentation at the ceremony.
U2 took to Instagram recently to announce the news, writing: 'All the way from Sphere in Las Vegas, it’s @u2. Tune-in to the 66th #GRAMMYs Sunday, February 4th at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT on @cbstv.'
U2 have been performing at the Sphere as part of their Las Vegas residency celebrating their seminal 1991 album 'Achtung Baby.'
The state-of-the-art venue features a 16K resolution wraparound interior LED screen, speakers with beamforming and wave field synthesis technologies, and 4D physical effects. It is 112 metres high and 157 metres wide, and has an equally impressive exterior of 580,000 sq ft (54,000 m2) of LED displays.
This year's Grammy Awards will be taking place on Sunday 4th February at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
