U2

Before the live performance of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' in Paris on November 30, 2014, U2 had released their album 'Songs of Innocence' just a couple of months prior, in September 2014. This album was quite the conversation starter, especially after being automatically added to millions of iTunes accounts, sparking much buzz and debate about music distribution in the digital age. During this transitional phase, U2 was keenly focused on re-establishing their connection with fans, and Paris, with its rich musical history, was the perfect backdrop for such a powerful protest song. Interestingly, this performance epitomized U2's enduring commitment to social issues, as 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' addresses the violence and tragedy of the troubles in Northern Ireland—still relevant and resonant in today's world. The energy from both the band and the crowd in that iconic city was palpable, creating a night to remember.
