U2

In September 2015, during the iHeartRadio Music Festival at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, U2 performed "Every Breaking Wave," a track from their 2014 album, "Songs of Innocence." This album marked a pivotal moment in U2's career, as it was their first release since the acclaimed "No Line on the Horizon" in 2009, and it was also notable for its controversial launch strategy—being released for free on iTunes, which stirred quite the buzz. The band was entering a new era of embracing digital platforms, which reflected their willingness to adapt in a rapidly changing music landscape. The live performance of "Every Breaking Wave" reveals the emotional depth and craftsmanship U2 is known for, resonating with fans as they blend nostalgia with contemporary themes. It's a reminder of their enduring legacy while building bridges to newer audiences.
