U2 Tickets

The 1960s-70s United Kingdom was one of richest environments for music in history, and the young men that would form U2 grew up with a range of idols, including the Clash, the Beatles, and Van Morrison. Taking bits from Punk and a little from old-fashioned Rock, U2 developed a style that was socially and politically relevant while staying in the mainstream with Rock and Pop vocals and rhythms. With early albums such as War, U2 captured the heart of the UK with thrilling live performances and powerful lyrics.

International stardom came in 1987 with album The Joshua Tree. Audiences from the United States and the UK were instantly smitten with U2 thanks to songs “With or Without You”, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”, and “One Tree Hill”. Millions of Joshua Tree Tour tickets initiated a throng of people into the band’s growing worldwide fan base. The defeat of Glam and the rise of Alternative was a boon for U2 as well, and fans latched onto the band with following albums Rattle and Hum and Achtung Baby.

U2 entered the 1990s with a great chance to use its music for something beyond pure success, and activism became synonymous with U2, Bono, and The Edge. U2 rampaged through the 1990s as one of the biggest draws in music, regardless of what was popular at the time. Geopolitical situations of the 21st century and a redirection in musical style made 2001 album All That You Can’t Leave Behind a huge hit, along with singles “Beautiful Day” and “Elevation”.

The 2004 album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb was a megahit with the explosive “Vertigo” and “All Because of You” leading the way. U2 would take a long hiatus from the recording studio after touring in support of How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb to focus on charity work. Millions of fans breathed a sigh of relief when U2 announced it would release new album No Line on the Horizon in 2009 along with single “Get on Your Boots”.
