U2 releases new music video shot on Fremont Street less than 24 hours before opening Sphere in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Irish rock band U2 released a music video for their new song “Atomic City,” which was filmed in downtown Las Vegas, less than 24 hours before the band is set to open the highly anticipated Sphere.
The video cuts between shots of the band performing on a flatbed trailer pulled by a semi-truck through downtown Las Vegas as they gave a surprise performance of their newest single, and the band performing inside what appears to be the Sphere.
