U2: Rock Band in New York

About U2

U2 is a rock and pop group formed in Dublin in the mid-1970s, built around Bono’s voice, the Edge’s effects-shaped guitar lines, and the rhythm section of Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. Their sound has moved through different eras while keeping a taste for large, chorus-driven structures and lyrics that weigh personal conviction against public life. In New York City they have a touchpoint at the Cutting Room, where their catalog is revisited on bills such as “U2EXP: A tribute to U2.” Their live identity tends to favor sweep and momentum over ornament.
