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.
