U2's Vegas Residency: 'Atomic City' Single, Sphere Bet, and Larry Mullen Jr.'s Absence

U2 releases their new punk-pop single "Atomic City" and its accompanying video ahead of their Las Vegas residency, showcasing a fun party song with dance-rock rhythms reminiscent of their "Zooropa"/"Pop" era. The track pays homage to Las Vegas and features catchy hooks, evoking the punchy punk-pop style of Green Day. While it may not become a U2 classic, it demonstrates the band's ability to still create infectious music. The video also revisits the same Sin City street where they filmed their iconic "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" clip over three decades ago.

U2 surprised fans with a pop-up concert and music video shoot on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, where they debuted their new song "Atomic City." The track is inspired by the city's nickname during the 1950s nuclear bomb testing era. The band performed the song multiple times during the show, which also served as a video shoot for its rumored release later this month. Drummer Larry Mullen Jr., who is recovering from back surgery, joined the band for the shoot, but will not be part of their upcoming U2 UV: Achtung Baby residency at the MSG Sphere.
