FANS of the rock group U2 will be able to enjoy the band's live show in full three-dimensional glory - from the comfort of their own home.

The band will release U2 3D on February 22, and it does pretty much what it says on the tin.

The film was shot during the last leg of the band's Vertigo tour, and uses state-of-the-art technology to offer fans a "unique cinematic experience that places viewers within the pulsing energy of a stadium concert given by the world's most popular band."

"What's exciting about seeing U2 live is that their concerts are totally engaging and take you on a powerful journey through the songs," said executive producer Sandy Climan.

"U2 3D is neither just a concert film nor a front-row seat at a live show, but a new cinematic experience that brings viewers into the pulsing energy of a stadium concert in an unexpectedly intimate and surprisingly realistic way."

The film includes 15 of the band's hits from the past two decades, including Beutiful Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday and Where The Streets Have No Name.
