Summary

U2’s 1992 Madison concert shattered attendance records with over 62,000 fans—and forever changed Badger football by making “Where the Streets Have No Name” their walk-out anthem. Five years later, they returned to honor local legend Butch Vig, drummer for Garbage and UW-Madison alum, during a heartfelt performance of “Staring at the Sun.” This electrifying connection between a global band and a college town continues to echo through campus traditions, proving how music can leave an indelible mark on community spirit.
