Last night was the first of two for the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas with U2 and Billy Idol taking the stage and Miley Cyrus joining Billy for ‘Rebel Yell’.
Idol started with a short set. He did hit on four of his best-known songs although he left out his three highest-charting hits, Mony Mony, Eyes Without a Face and Cradle of Love.
Miley Cyrus joined Idol for his set closing Rebel Yell.

U2’s set was longer at eight songs, an appropriate amount considering they were calling this their 40th-anniversary show.
