The band was linked into the February 4 Los Angeles broadcast to deliver the 2023 single as part of the “U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere” residency in Las Vegas.
First released last fall in sync with the new venue’s opening, the song is itself a 1950s nickname for Las Vegas from a time when nuclear fascination swept the nation and the city promoted itself as a center of atomic tourism due to its proximity to the Nevada Test Site.
U2 will release a 2-track vinyl edition of “Atomic City” as part of Record Store Day 2024 on April 20; it will present a brand-new live performance recording alongside a remix by Mike WiLL Made-It, available for the first time physically.
The limited edition package will be pressed on transparent red vinyl with a poster included; for more details, visit recordstoreday.com.
U2 will wrap up its Sphere residency on March 2.
