In September 1976, 14-year-old Larry Mullen Jr. pinned a handwritten note ("Drummer Seeks Musicians To Form Band") to the noticeboard at Mount Temple Comprehensive Schoolin Dublin. On September 25 of that year, Paul Hewson ("Bono Vox"), David Evans ("the Edge"), Dik Evans ("the Edge's brother"), Adam Clayton, and Ivan McCormick joined Mullen for their first rehearsal, under their original name Feedback. It was later changed to the Hype and finally, U2. Today, exactly 50 years later, the band returned to Mount Temple to perform for 1000 students and staff. The setlist included "Out Of Control" for the first time since 2018, "I Will Follow" for the first time since 2019, and the live debut of their new single "Silence." U2 then headed over to Bewley’s Grafton Street Café for a second surprise set.

Congratulations to the Lincoln High School marching band on a great performance battling the rain in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. They're the first South Dakota high school band to play in this parade since 2008. Making us proud!

U2 in 2026 As the new year dawns, 2026 will mark an extraordinary milestone: U2's 50th anniversary as the longest-running band in world history with the same original lineup—Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr., together for half a century since 1976. A new U2 album also dawns, U2's first in almost a decade, due in 2026. Can U2 defy gravity after all this time? Can U2 rise up on wings like eagles? Can U2 be born again? Like a Phoenix rising from a holy tree? From “New Year's Day” to The Joshua Tree to their ongoing quest for renewal and grace, biblical allusions abound. Follow Bono’s Bible for more.
