U2 doing ‘everything they can’ to bring world tour here

Rock superstars U2 are doing everything they can to take their world tour to Ireland — with The Edge saying not playing to a home crowd would be a “huge disappointment” to the band.

The Innocence + Experience tour is suitable for a particular type of venue due to its unique set and there is nowhere in the south of Ireland to accommodate it.

But The Edge told the Press Association that a venue in the North may come to the rescue.
