If you’re a child of the ’70s, you surely remember some of these things: pop rocks, Sea-Monkeys, bell bottoms, disco and lastly, U2. Formed in 1976, the Dublin-based pop-rock band U2 was one of the most famous bands that emerged from the punk movement—a concept or style that represents a departure from traditional punk. The band, which is composed of Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr., is often known for its songs that contain “religious imagery and political commentary.”
Throughout their career, U2 released 14 studio albums, won 22 Grammy Awards, was inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame and became one of the world’s best-selling music artists. The Joshua Tree, which was released on March 9, 1987, was listed as UK’s fastest-selling album of all time after it went platinum in 48 hours and sold 150-170 million copies worldwide.
Although it has been 30 years since the band released The Joshua Tree, which was derived from the Old Testament, U2 once again delivered an electrifying concert for their superfans at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand on November 8, 2019. With sheer energy, the band played their iconic 1987 album with hits from across their catalog. The stage setup was also accompanied by crisp, stunning visuals matching the band’s amazing sound. But what really brought fans to tears was Bono’s rendition of One Tree Hill, a song dedicated to friend and personal assistant Greg Caroll who perished in a 1986 motorcycle crash in Dublin.
As part of their world tour and commitment to bringing an unforgettable experience for fans, U2 will be having their concert on December 11, Wednesday at the Philippine Arena, Ciudad de Victoria, Bulacan. The most-anticipated concert is presented by MMI Live.
