The rock band U2 performed last night in Spartan Stadium, making it the second concert ever held at the venue according to the Detroit Free Press.

More from the Freep:

On what just might have been a perfect June night in mid-Michigan, U2 reached high to create its own summer masterpiece. The powerhouse Irish band brought its 360° Tour to Spartan Stadium on a gorgeous Sunday night, delivering a compelling, glorious performance on a mammoth high-tech stage. It was a visual and sonic spectacular that deeply resonated with the elbow-to-elbow to crowd, keeping fans off their seats and occasionally dropping their jaws. Only the stadium’s very upper corners were bare on a night that drew more than 65,000 for just the second-ever concert at the venue.
