U2 named among stadium-filling elite

U2 have been named among a trio of iconic acts guaranteed to fill American stadiums by Rolling Stone.

The supergroup, along with Madonna and rock legends The Rolling Stones, were branded “sure-thing megastars” by the music bible.

While in-demand young stars like Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, and Rihanna are all playing across North America this summer, they are not deemed to have the same iconic status as the three acts.
