U2

On July 22, 2017, U2 performed 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' at the iconic Croke Park in Dublin during their 'The Joshua Tree Tour 2017.' This tour celebrated the 30th anniversary of their landmark album, 'The Joshua Tree,' which originally came out in 1987. At that time, U2 had already established themselves as a powerhouse in rock music, blending emotional lyrics with a strong social conscience. This performance was particularly poignant, as it took place in their home country, paying homage to both their roots and the unresolved struggles in Northern Ireland, which the song addresses. Beyond just a live rendition, this recording underscores U2's commitment to political activism, where music serves as both art and advocacy. Fans were treated to not just nostalgia, but a reminder of the band's ability to resonate on deeper issues.
