Over the past thirty-three years, few bands have had a greater impact on popular music than U2. The Irish quartet quickly transcended their early punk roots, embracing new styles and sounds, and eventually playing to packed stadiums. Inducted in 2005, U2 has become one of the most socially and spiritually aware bands making music today.

U2's Lineup

U2

From the beginning, U2 has been a band on a mission. With each album and concert, the Irish quartet has endeavored to create music of lasting worth and substance. U2's best work — which includes War (1983), The Joshua Tree (1987), Achtung Baby (1991) and All That You Can't Leave Behind (2000) — stand out as true classics in the rock canon.

Ultimately, what's set U2 apart is the visionary passion of vocalist Paul "Bono" Hewson and the group's music, which mixes rock's visceral energy with artful atmospherics. Having risen to prominence in the early Eighties — a time when the iconic status of rock stars was routinely challenged by skeptical punks and New Wavers — U2 managed to become a stadium-filling phenomenon without sacrificing credibility. While much had changed, important things remained the same: U2 comprised the same four musicians, still holding fast to principles and making inspirational music a quarter century after their humble beginnings in a Dublin high school.

U2 will be performing material from their vast catalog of music and will be inviting special guests onstage for never-before-seen collaborations. Check back soon to see who they'll be performing with.
