In 2009, U2 embarked on their 360° Tour, featuring a massive 165-foot stage design known as “The Claw.” Now, one of those “Claws” will be on display at Draper, Utah’s Loveland Living Planet Aquarium. On acquiring the 190-ton structure, LLPA’s Founder & CEO and marine biologist Brent Andersen said, “We are excited to bring this iconic monument to its permanent home in Utah. This landmark will shine a light on our mission to inspire people to explore, discover, and learn about Earth’s diverse ecosystems.”
U2’s tour director Craig Evans commented, “It’s bittersweet to see it go, but we are pleased it’s going to enhance the mission and vision of Loveland Living Planet Aquarium as part of its expanded campus.” Check out a mock-up of the installation below, and learn more about LLPA’s new expansion at their website.
U2 begin their tour behind their latest album, Songs of Experience, in May.
