U2

In the summer of 2001, U2 was riding high on the wave of their acclaimed album 'All That You Can't Leave Behind,' which had been released in October 2000. This album marked a significant resurgence in their career, featuring hits like 'Beautiful Day' and 'Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of.' The live performance of 'Where The Streets Have No Name' at Slane Castle on May 26, 2001, was a highlight of their Elevation Tour, showcasing their ability to deliver emotional depth and electrifying energy on stage. This concert was particularly special as U2 returned to their home country, performing anthems that resonate with themes of hope and liberation. Interestingly, Slane Castle has hosted numerous legendary bands, but this night belonged to U2, perfectly melding their rock spirit with the rich cultural backdrop of Ireland.
