In this episode, Tom visits the famous Museon-Omniversum Dome, which is in the middle of a successful run of performances by the U2 tribute band U2Two.

The show replicates U2's residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, giving fans from the Netherlands the chance to witness the same visual extravaganza at a fraction of the cost. The Dome is the perfect venue for a show like this with its 360 degree screen and immersive theatrical experience. The visuals took more than a year to create, with the Dome team assisted by students from around The Hague.

In this interview Tom speaks to Nancy Zomer, Managing Director at Museon-Omniversum, and Alexandra Van Der Zee, Programme Director for the Dome.
