"Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World" is a song by Irish rock band U2, and the ninth track on their 1991 album, Achtung Baby.
[2] During live performances on Zoo TV Tour from 1992 to 1993, lead singer Bono would spray a bottle of champagne towards the audience.
[3] Aside from being snippeted at three concerts during the final leg of the U2 360° Tour in July 2011,[4] the song was not performed again until the band's 2023–2024 U2:UV Achtung Baby residency at the Sphere in the Las Vegas Valley.
During performances, a digital chalk drawing of a balloon, designed by the Edge's wife Morleigh Steinberg, was displayed high on the venue's LED screen.
The Denver quartet had supported U2 on the seventh leg of the 360° Tour, during which The Fray's Isaac Slade celebrated his 30th birthday.
