U2 Drops New Single “Atomic City” Ahead of Las Vegas Residency at the Sphere
As U2 prepares for their highly anticipated Las Vegas residency at the brand-new $2.3 billion Sphere venue in the Venetian Resort, the Irish icons surprised fans by releasing their latest single, “Atomic City,” along with its accompanying music video on the same day.
With a nod to their upcoming residency, the song captures the electrifying energy of Las Vegas, also known as “Atomic City,” and embraces a more lighthearted and swaggering tone compared to their usual seriousness. Bono sings, “I’m ready for bright lights… I came here for the fight, I’m front row in Las Vegas, and there’s a big one on tonight.”
Revisiting the dance-rock rhythms reminiscent of U2’s “Zooropa” and “Pop” era, “Atomic City” is a catchy party anthem that pays homage to the ultimate party town. While it may not become a U2 classic, it still showcases the band’s ability to create infectious hooks, reminiscent of bands like Green Day. It’s a refreshing sound that deserves recognition.
The music video for “Atomic City,” released on the same day, further adds to the excitement. U2 takes viewers back to the same street in Sin City where they filmed their iconic “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” video over 36 years ago. A true homage to the spirit of Las Vegas.
With the launch of their Las Vegas residency and the release of “Atomic City,” U2 proves once again why they are one of the biggest rock bands of all time. Their ability to create promotional synergy while staying true to their unique sound is a testament to their longevity and creativity.
Join U2 in their electrifying journey as they bring the bright lights and infectious energy of “Atomic City” to their first Las Vegas residency at the Sphere venue from September 29 to December 16.
