U2 unveiled a new kind of show this Friday evening at a venue with the sole purpose of blowing every mind that enters.
The bowl-shaped theater reportedly contains the world’s highest-resolution wraparound LED screen, boasting 1,2 million hockey puck-sized LEDs that can be programmed to flash moving imagery on a massive scale.
Sacha Baron Cohen’s iconic character made an unexpected appearance as part of a tribute to U2 and didn’t hold back.

All-round American legend Quincy Jones had a very revealing chat with Vulture, complete with plenty of name-dropping. And not in a good way.
To celebrate the release of their 14th studio album, Vulture attempted to rank all 218 original tracks released by the band. What you think?
We love Charlize and Trevor Noah and Elon Musk, so why don’t the Irish love the biggest band to ever come from their shores?
In 1987 U2 went from being a very successful band to being world stars, all on the back of their album ‘Joshua Tree’ and the tour that followed. Rinse and repeat.
There really is a chorus of celebrities trying to tell America that Trump is a giant douche, and now U2 have added their names to that list.
U2 are a pretty big deal around the world, although it isn’t often that you get to play a gig in such a revered and holy setting.
I imagine for a U2 fan it doesn’t get much better than hopping on stage with Bono and the boys at Madison Square Garden. Jimmy Fallon certainly had himself a ripper.
Amal and George Clooney were spotted acting like regular folk on the weekend at a U2 concert. It’s nice to be reminded that they’re human too, with feelings.
Sometimes you have to take your guitar for a walk when you’re busting out a classic. It always pays to keep an eye on where the stage ends though.
We’re going to require some reader assistance here guys so don’t be shy. Has a local musician been studying U2’s music videos a little too closely?
U2 was due to perform at the World AIDS Day (RED) show in Times Square without frontman Bono. Then something magical happened…
Bono must have thought he was on a new series of Punked when they found out that half of his jet and falling off during the flight. #funtimes
Bono must have the largest sunglass collection in the world. He is ALWAYS wearing them, being a man of mystery and a celeb. Is that the case though?
After the backlash following the silly publicity stunt Apple and U2 pulled, the band’s frontman has come out the apologise to his fans.

Apple and U2’s marketing campaign backfires as fans demand for a new automatically-installed U2 album to be removed from their libraries.
Just after the charity auction in New York that saw a Mac Pro sell for R9.8 million, Bono and the Edge got down to some serious partying.
Bill was running a tad late from leaving some papers backstage so Bono hopped into his seat and began reminiscing, in an exaggerated Arkansas drawl, about the first time they met.
2013 seems to be the year of the come back. Bowie, Black Sabbath, Beck, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Depeche Mode, Queens of the Stone Age, and Tool are just a few of the anticipated come-back albums we can expect this year. There is no in between with come-back albums, they are either a […]
Facebook is set to float on the stock exchange today and all its early investors must be smiling. One of them, U2’s frontman Bono, has shares worth over $1,5 billion alone. This puts him well above Paul McCartney – currently the world’s richest musician. Who knew devoting your career to charity, world peace, and good causes could be so profitable?
Witnessing U2 in concert was a big deal for a lot of people, but spotting Ryan Reynolds (in town shooting a film with Denzel Washington) at the concert may well have increased the blood pressure of a few young ladies! We managed to get hold of a few pics of Ryan Reynolds at Friday’s concert. […]
One of the classic moments during last night’s U2 concert at Cape Town stadium was when Bono and Yvonne Chaka Chaka covered the classic Ben E. King hit, “Stand by me.” The whole also sang along. We managed to catch the moment on video camera. Follow the link to check it out!
Everybody is talking about the start of U2’s concert, which had Bono waxing lyrical about Cape Town and South Africa. But then he went for a pretty cool vibe and compared each band member to a wild animal. “What manner of exotic creature do we have here” was hilarious (for The Edge)! Then Bono called […]
