U2 Performs at Dublin School Where Members Met

U2 has performed a concert at the school in Dublin where the band members met, marking 50 years after the group was founded. The performance took place at the conclusion of the school day. During the event, the band played a total of seven songs, consisting of I Will Follow, Vertigo, Beautiful Day, Out of Control, Silencio, One, and With or Without You.

The foundations of U2 were laid when Larry Mullen Jr., at 14 years old, posted a handwritten note on the bulletin board at the school. In the period following that note, auditions for the band were held on September 25, 1976. These auditions took place inside the kitchen of Larry's parents. When the group started, they did not immediately go by U2; they initially used the name Feedback, subsequently used the name The Hype, and after that took the name U2.

Over the course of their career, U2 has sold more than 175 million records worldwide. The group has also made an announcement regarding their 16th studio album, which is titled Carnaval de Luz. This 16th studio album from U2 is scheduled to be released in the month of November.
