In an exciting surprise event on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, the legendary band U2 premiered their latest creation, "Atomic City," during a pop-up concert and music video shoot. Fans were treated to an electrifying performance, setting the stage for the band's upcoming U2 UV: Achtung Baby residency at the massive MSG Sphere.
Adding to the excitement, Bono reminisced about their prior stint on Fremont Street while filming the iconic "I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking" video in 1987 during The Joshua Tree Tour. To the delight of the audience, U2 also showcased a soulful rendition of the same track during this surprise gig.
A notable highlight of the event was the presence of drummer Larry Mullen Jr., who, despite recovering from back surgery, joined the band for the video shoot. However, he won't be part of the upcoming MSG Sphere residency. Dutch drummer Bram van den Berg will step in to keep the beat during the U2 UV: Achtung Baby shows.
Bono expressed his gratitude for Larry's dedication, noting, “The four of us recorded the song. Sadly, Larry Mullen Jr. won’t be with us at the Sphere.” This heartfelt acknowledgment resonated with fans, showcasing the band's tight-knit camaraderie and resilience. #U2 #AtomicCity #LasVegas #MusicMagic #ConcertSurprise
