U2360° at the Rose Bowl
A tour stage; four large legs curve up above the stage and hold a circular video screen above the band. The legs are lit up in red and a spire that runs through the center of the stage illuminates the audience with yellow light. A grey circle is drawn below the photograph with the words U2 360° at the Rose Bowl written in the center; 360° is written in red, and the rest is written in grey. Two claws extend downwards in either side, representing a stylized drawing of the stage.

U2360° at the Rose Bowl is a 2010 concert film by Irish rock band U2. It was shot on 25 October 2009 on the band's U2 360° Tour date at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The Rose Bowl concert featured a sold out crowd of 97,014 people, and was broadcast live over the Internet via YouTube. The concert video was released on DVD and Blu-ray on 3 June 2010 in the United States, 7 June in the United Kingdom, and 8 June in Canada.

The U2 360° Tour was a worldwide concert tour by the Irish rock band U2, launched in support of the group's 2009 album No Line on the Horizon. The tour was designed by Willie Williams, who has worked on every U2 tour since 1982.Mark Fisher is the architect. The tour featured a 360-degree configuration, with the stage being placed closer to the center of the stadium's field than usual. Williams had been toying with ideas for 360-degree stadium staging for U2 for a number of years, and presented sketches of a four-legged design to the group near the end of their Vertigo Tour in 2006. The inspiration for the "spaceship-on-four-legs" design, nicknamed "the Claw", came from the landmark Theme Building at Los Angeles International Airport.

The initial tour dates were formally announced in March 2009. U2 played 44 shows in 2009, with an additional 38 concerts scheduled for 2010. The performance in Pasadena was the group's penultimate concert of 2009.
