U2 performed two surprise concerts in Dublin one day after announcing Carnaval de Luz, which is their first album in nine years. The new album Carnaval de Luz will be released on November 13 through Interscope. As part of these Dublin surprise performances, the group returned to Mount Temple Comprehensive School, the location where they had first performed more than fifty years ago.

Members Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. played for an audience of approximately 1,000 students and school staff members at Mount Temple Comprehensive School. During the school concert, the band performed I Will Follow, Vertigo, Beautiful Day, and Out of Control, marking the first time Out of Control was played in eight years.

U2 also played the track Silencio from their upcoming new album during the school show. For the song One, the band invited 32 student musicians from Music Generation to join them on the stage. Later, the group performed on the balcony of Bewley’s located on Grafton Street. This balcony performance featured the tracks Where the Streets Have No Name and With or Without You.
