"Laser U2 is a techno-fusion of laser light and mainstream rock with a hint of blues and punk for some extra kick. Spanning three decades, songs like 'Where the Streets Have No Name,' 'Beautiful Day,' 'Desire' and 'Vertigo' are brilliantly illustrated in vibrant laser light," according to radiant-laser.com.
The show uses a laser projector that is twice as fast as other laser systems and provides a flicker-free image, making the laser quality clearer and easier to view.
Daytime field trips for local students will offer educational performances such as Laser Safari, American Pride and Black History.
