U2 & Beck in Mexico City

U2 is an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1976. Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. established the group’s long-running lineup. Albums including The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby, and songs such as “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” “With or Without You” and “One,” brought their atmospheric rock to a broad audience. The Zoo TV Tour of 1992 and 1993 used banks of video screens, satellite links and Bono’s onstage characters as part of its arena and stadium shows. The PopMart Tour followed in 1997, while the 360° Tour placed the stage in the round for another stadium run beginning in 2009. In 2023, U2 opened Sphere in Las Vegas with U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere, a concert residency built around Achtung Baby. Far beyond their home city, U2 filmed Vertigo Tour concerts in Mexico City and Buenos Aires for the concert film U2 3D.

Beck is an American singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist born in Los Angeles in 1970. His 1994 single “Loser” became his signature early hit, followed by albums including Odelay, Sea Change, Guero and Morning Phase; the latter won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. On the 2002 tour supporting Sea Change, the Flaming Lips opened the concerts and served as Beck’s backing band. He later co-headlined the Night Running Tour with Cage the Elephant in 2019, then joined Phoenix for the Summer Odyssey tour in 2023. Beck performed at the inaugural Coachella in 1999. His festival appearances also include Glastonbury and Bonnaroo.
