BBC Radio 1 will be broadcasting a U2 special on Christmas Day at 7pm to celebrate the fact that 30 years ago a certain Mr Mullen put a note up on a message board looking for people to form a band.

Radio 1 streams live across the internet so all you fan outs there should be able to tune in and listen.

The content of the show is, at this point, unknown but if we hear anything further, we will let you know.
