Honest question, I have no idea.

There's a couple problems with the acoustics/concert ability, and I'm fairly certain that no, they can't be fixed.
As far as I know, the roof is shaped in a way that sounds bounces in many different directions and so there are various parts of the Dome that are hearing a completely different concert than others. This is coupled with the fact that the material is sound-absorbing, which is obviously not great.
The roof also can't support the weight of many musicians sound gear and other equipment that big pop artists' acts like to use. This, I think, is the main reason we get passed over by bands like U2 and other more theatrical performers.
