U2 Shoots Video for New ‘Atomic City’ Single in Downtown Las Vegas, With Larry Mullen Jr. Back in Tow

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When it comes to how big a movie experience can get, Sphere has answered that question once and for all: The sky is the limit. The first film to play in the enormous, immersive new space in Las Vegas, Darren Aronofsky‘s “Postcard From Earth,” has plenty of blue-screen, so to speak — that is, vast skies that stretch to fill the dome that towers 366 feet over the venue’s floor level.

U2 have said they have some “amazing new songs” in the can, teasing that they will be “ready soon”.The Irish group are currently a week into their spectacular residency at Las Vegas’ groundbreaking new venue, Sphere. Ahead of the first show last Friday (September 29) Bono and co. released a standalone single called ‘Atomic City’.Now, the band have taken Zane Lowe on another behind-the-scenes tour of the Sphere in a video for Apple Music.

Blink-182 have paid homage to the legendary New York rock band the Ramones in the video for their latest single ‘Dance With Me’.The track is a fresh take on a classic Blink song packed with a tapping guitar riff, heavy drums and catchy, anthemic lyrics such as: “Olé, Olé. Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé / Yeah / We’re doing it all night long“.Directed by The Malloys, the song’s accompanying video is billed as a love letter to the famous New York punks – one of Blink’s favourite bands – and sees Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker dressed up in Ramones cosplay.

Drake continues to surprise social media, and once again, he’s getting his 5-year-old son Adonis get involved in the hype.

PinkPantheress has shared new single ‘Mosquito’ and has dropped an accompanying music video. Check it out below.The Bath-raised star – real name Victoria Walker – follows up from recent singles including ‘Boy’s A Liar’ and collaborations with the likes of Destroy Lonely, Skrillex and Troye Sivan, as well as contributing the dream-pop song ‘Angel’ to the Barbie soundtrack.Now, PinkPantheress has shared ‘Mosquito’ and its glitzy, Y2K-inspired music video.

U2 have played their track ‘So Cruel’ live for the first time since 1992 at the opening of the MSG Sphere venue this past weekend.On Friday (September 29), the Irish rock band began their Las Vegas residency at the Las Vegas Sphere – a $2.3bn, 18,000 seater sci-fi structure that has 160,000 speakers and a giant wrap-around LED screen. They opened the new venue on the first night of their ‘U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere’ in which they played their 1991 LP in its entirety along with their hits.Bono and Co.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor During her performance in Las Vegas Sunday night, Lady Gaga dedicated her 2011 hit “Born This Way” to the victims of the mass shooting that took place in the city six years earlier. Gaga stopped midway through a stripped-down version of the song and said, “I just want to remind everyone here what a resilient wonderful city this is.” She continued, “I want to dedicate this song to everyone we lost.” On Oct. 1, 2017, 59 people dead and more than 500 injured.

U2 kicked off their residency at the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas by dedicating one of their tracks to drummer Larry Mullen Jr, who is not taking part in the shows due to various injuries.The Irish rock icons launched their long-awaited residency at the new MSG Sphere in Nevada last week, and used the opening show to pay tribute to the absent member.Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and stand-in drummer Bram Van Den Berg all made a nod towards Mullen Jr during the set, dedicating their 1988 track ‘All I Want Is You’ to him. The drummer is not taking part in their 25-show residency at the £2.3billion venue due to injuries sustained to his elbows, knees and neck.He previously confirmed that the injuries are all drumming-related, and said that he would “like to take some time… to get myself healed”, rather than persevere with the Las Vegas shows.

@U2 had to perform WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME! That guitar riff is so iconic! As soon as we heard it… ! This felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience at @spherevegas!

Lights! Camera! Bono!!! Taking us to a higher ELEVATION at @U2’s new residency at the @spherevegas!

We need to go see @u2 at @spherevegas ONE more time!!!

@U2 is the first act to perform at the just-opened @SphereVegas. Is their new residency worth seeing?

What a star! What a show!! @u2 @spherevegas 

For his eighth studio album, Autumn Variations, Ed Sheeran decided to shake things up. Rather than utilizing the power of a major label (his previous albums were released on Atlantic), he’s released his latest LP independently on his own label, Gingerbread Man Records.

Sphere, the innovative new concert venue in Las Vegas, opened on Friday night (September 29) with a performance from U2 and we have incredible photos and videos from inside the dome.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Spectacle is underrated. This is pretty much the antithesis of any accepted, traditional rock ‘n’ roll orthodoxy. It is also the natural human reaction to just about any or all of “U2:UV Live at Sphere Las Vegas,” the greatest-show-on-earth that opened Friday night in an enormous dome just off the Strip.

The Kansas City Chiefs social team knows exactly what they’re doing!

beloved Irish rock band officially christened Sphere — a 20,000 capacity, $2.2 billion state-of-the-art venue from the Madison Square Garden Company — Friday night in Las Vegas. For months now, it has snatched the world’s attention for its massive exterior that doubles as a video screen which quickly become a staple on the Sin City strip.The term immersive doesn’t give this production its due justice.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The first date of U2‘s 25-night run at Las Vegas’ Sphere is on the books, and for anyone who doesn’t mind spoilers, the makeup of the setlist can be revealed — although there is a mid-section that, judging from what Bono said, may be different each night during the run. The setlist for “U2: UV Live at Sphere Las Vegas” includes all of the classic 1991 “Achtung Baby,” as promised, but split into two sections.
