U2 Live Concert Performance at Feyenoord Stadium, Rotterdam - PopMart Tour 1997

Venue: Feijenoord Stadion Location: Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands Date: July 18, 1997

In July 1997, U2 performed a memorable set during their PopMart Tour at the Feijenoord Stadion in Rotterdam. This concert came shortly after the release of their album 'Pop,' which hit the shelves in March of that same year. 'Pop' marked a significant point in U2's career, showcasing their experimentation with electronic music and dance beats, a departure from their earlier rock roots. Interestingly, the album was met with mixed reviews initially, but over time, it gained appreciation for its bold sound. The PopMart Tour itself was known for its extravagant production, complete with a massive golden arch and giant video screens, reflecting the band's commitment to putting on a visually impressive show. It's fascinating how U2's willingness to innovate kept them at the forefront of the music scene, while their live performances, like the one in Rotterdam, allowed fans to experience this evolution in real time.
