Still one of the biggest & most flamboyant bands in the world, U2 have been delighting music fans with their epic & unforgettable tunes for over 30 years. Having developed & grown in stature throughout the 1980s & released one of their very finest with 1991s Achtung Baby, by the mid 1990s the band were in danger of slipping into irrelevance. But instead of allowing themselves to fade away, as did so many of their 1980s contemporaries, the mighty U2 redoubled their efforts, reapplied for the job ofbest band in the world, grabbed new fans while reigniting the old faithful & entered the third millennium with the explosive All That You Cant Leave Behind, a record that put four aging white men in their forties on the cover of NME. The noughties saw U2 make two further astonishing albums, perform the most ambitious & glorious concerts in the history of show business & end the decade with the very welcome news that Dublins finest will headline the 40th.. .
