Overview
- U2 returned to the Mount Temple Comprehensive School courtyard on September 25, 2026, for a 50th‑anniversary show performed for roughly 1,000 students and staff.
- The set traced the band's history by opening with early songs such as “I Will Follow” and “Out of Control,” including career hits like “Vertigo” and closing with “With or Without You.”
- For the song “One,” the band was joined onstage by 32 string players drawn from Music Generation, one musician representing each county of the island of Ireland.
- The band previewed new tracks from a recently announced album called Carnaval De Luz, which ANSA reports is due November 13, 2026, a date that remains reported but not independently confirmed in the coverage.
- The return to the exact courtyard where Larry Mullen Jr. posted a 1976 note that led to the group's formation framed the concert as both a nostalgic commemoration and a public link between U2 and Ireland’s music education programs.
