Latest U2 News & Information

U2 have been named and shamed as the creators of the most disastrous stage shows of all time. The Irish rockers came top of a survey by US magazine Blender for the set on their 1997 Popmart world tour. The concert was plagued with a string of errors including smoking the audience out with special effects and getting trapped in a giant lemon that they were using as a stage prop. Blender magazine writes, "No musician is immune to the catastrophe of the onstage meltdown… absurd sets, drunken lead singers and horribly exposed miming." Other artists listed in the top ten were JEFFERSON STARSHIP and THE EVERLY BROTHERS.

Bono (AKA Paul Hewson) and Ali tie the knot, forging one of the rare rock ‘n’ roll marriages to last more than six months.

We send out congrats to Bono & Ali

One cause, One love: Bono: One man: Bono: One singer: Bono: One altruist: Bono: One savior: Bono.

Bono, founder of the charity known as One, is marketing a new fund- and consciousness-raising ”One” T-shirt designed by Edun, the clothing brand cofounded by the U2 singer, TMZ.com reports. The shirt’s celebrity-heavy ad campaign features Heath Ledger, Lindsay Lohan, Jimmy Fallon and Naomi Watts.

The One T goes on sale Sept. 11 and will benefit anti-poverty, anti-AIDS and fair-trade efforts in Lesotho in southern Africa. For more info, visit http://one.org/.

Many are gathering in Sarajevo for the 12th annual Sarajevo Film Festival in the Bosnian capital on Friday. Sarajevo Film Festival is an international film festival with specific goal of supporting and promoting regional cinematography and it is recognized by FIAPF as a Competitive Specialized Festival.

While the Sarajevo festival’s organisers aim to promote young directors from the region, international stars are also expected to grace the red carpet in Sarajevo.

Nick Nolte will present his latest film "Peaceful Warrior" on Sunday, and U2’s Bono, who devoted parts of the band’s 1993 Zooropa tour to the besieged Bosnian capital, is expected in Sarajevo on the same day.
