Irish rock band U2 performed live from a high tech new immersive venue in Las Vegas during the Grammy awards ceremony.

The venue, where U2 are currently performing a residency, boasts 168,000 square feet of high definition LEDs, 167,000 speakers and 17,000 seats.
Afterwards, Bono announced the award for best pop vocal album, saying: “Hello Grammys – the next category is pop vocalists… (but) these people look pretty rock and roll to me.”

The US singer, who walked away with three awards after being the most nominated of the night with nine nods, delivered a theatrical performance of her hit song Kill Bill.
She opened the performance by singing her song Snooze amid an elaborate set, which featured burning bins and constructed rooms, before transitioning into Kill Bill by removing her trench coat and rimmed hat to reveal a military-style outfit.

The US pop star performed her Grammy-winning track Flowers for the first time on TV, wearing a sparkling silver outfit with a stomach cut-out.
