U2 Tickets

Through an amalgamation of zealous righteousness and post-punk experimentalism, U2 became one of the most well-liked rock & roll bands of the '80s. Equally known for their sweeping sound as for their extravagant statements about politics and religion, U2 were rock & roll crusaders during an era of synthesized pop and heavy metal. The Edge provided the band with a signature sound by creating sweeping sonic landscapes with his heavily processed, echoed guitars. Though the Edge's style wasn't straight, the rhythm section of Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. played the songs as driving hard-rock, giving the band a forceful, influential edge that was designed for arena rock. And their lead singer, Bono, was a frontman who had a knack of impressive gestures that played better in arenas than small clubs. It's no accident that footage of Bono parading with a white flag with "Sunday Bloody Sunday" blaring in the background became the crucial moment of U2's early career. There hardly ever was a band that believed so deeply in rock's potential for revolution as U2, and there hardly ever was a band that didn't care if they appeared foolish in the process. During the course of the early '80s, the group rapidly built up a dedicated following through constant touring and a string of acclaimed records. By 1987, the band's following had grown large enough to push them to the level of international superstars with the release of The Joshua Tree. Unlike many of their contemporaries, U2 was able to continue their popularity in the '90s by reinventing themselves as a post-modern, self-consciously ironic dance-inflected pop-rock act, owing similarly to the experimentalism of late '70s Bowie and '90s electronic dance and techno. By performing such a successful reinvention, the band confirmed its status as one of the most popular bands in rock history, in addition to earning additional critical respect.

With its textured guitars, U2's sound was indisputably indebted to post-punk, so it's slightly ironic that the group formed in 1976, before punk had reached their hometown of Dublin, Ireland. Larry Mullen Jr. (b. October 31, 1961; drums) posted a notice on a high school bulletin board asking for fellow musicians to form a group. Bono (b. Paul Hewson, May 10, 1960; vocals, guitar), the Edge (b. David Evans, August 8, 1961; guitar, keyboards, vocal), Adam Clayton (bass), and Dick Evans responded to the ad, and the group formed as a Beatles and Stone cover band named the Feedback, before changing their name to the Hype in 1977. Shortly afterward, Dick Evans departed the band to form the Virgin Prunes. Following his leaving, the group changed their name to U2.

U2's first huge break arrived in 1978, when they won a talent contest sponsored by Guinness. The band was in their final year of high school at the time. By the end of the year, the Stranglers' manager Paul McGuinness seen the band play and offered to manage the group. Even with a commanding manager in their corner, the band had trouble making much headway. They failed an audition with CBS Records at the end of the year. In the fall of 1979, U2 released their debut EP U2:3. The EP was available only in Ireland and it topped the national charts. Shortly afterward, they began to play in England, but they failed to gain much attention.
