U2

In October 2014, U2 took the stage at BBC Radio 2 for a live concert that highlighted their album 'Songs of Innocence', which had been released just a month earlier, on September 9, 2014. This album marked a significant moment in U2's career, as it was notably delivered for free to over 500 million iTunes users, sparking widespread discussion about music distribution in the digital age. The show was set against the backdrop of a time when U2 was being heralded as an influential force in rock, blending their signature sound with contemporary themes that resonated with both old and new fans. Interestingly, this performance also came just after the band faced a lengthy hiatus, making their return not only impactful musically but also culturally significant. The energy and connection with the audience during this concert clearly showcased how U2 was revitalized and ready to reclaim their place in the music scene.
