In the round means they perform with the audience all round them. For the others the audience just watches from the front.
When I saw them it was in the round, and it was fantastic, but that was a small crowd (ticket numbers were deliberately limited to about 400) in a small venue, so it meant that the audience was really up close and personal with the band - even the people at the back only had about four rows of people between them and the (18-inch high) stage. Those three in the round venues look pretty big and horrible - Terminal 5 in NY takes 4,000 punters - with a bigger crowd I could imagine it being annoying, as the rest of the crowd would just block the view of those behind them.
