U2 have announced that they will be streaming four classic concerts online for the first time including U2 Go Home: Live From Slane Castle, streaming on St. Patrick’s Day.

U2: The Virtual Road will also pair these classic shows with new opening performances from Dermot Kennedy, Fontaines D.C. Carla Morrison and Feu! Chatterton.

“Every show is memorable for us but these four particularly so… It’s exciting to be on the road again… Embracing all the wonder of the virtual road… And especially exciting to be joined by such a brilliant line-up of fellow travellers in Dermot Kennedy, Fontaines D.C., Carla Morrison and Feu! Chatterton.” – Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry

The first concert will broadcast on St. Patrick’s Day, 17^th March 2021. U2 Go Home: Live From Slane Castle celebrates the band’s return to the legendary Irish concert site on 1^st September 2001 for their first performance on the banks of the River Boyne in over twenty years. And in an exclusive YouTube performance, Dermot Kennedy will open the show with a solo performance recorded last week outside Los Angeles.

On 25^th March fans can tune in to see U2: Live At Red Rocks recorded on 5th June 1983 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, United States on the band’s War Tour. A career defining show, the rain-soaked performance at the iconic venue helped establish U2’s reputation as one of the greatest live acts in the world. And another Grammy-nominated Dublin band, Fontaines D.C. will open the show with a performance recorded in their home town last year.

The PopMart Tour stormed into Mexico City in December 1997 for a memorable show at the Foro Sol Stadium and 1^st April will see Carla Morrison open for the band, only on YouTube, for a very special one-off performance ahead of Popmart: Live From Mexico City.

In December 2015, U2 returned to Paris less than a month after the 13^th November terrorist attacks on the city for two rescheduled shows. iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE: Live in Paris marked the final performance on the tour, an unforgettable evening which included an emotional performance of Patti Smith’s ‘People Have The Power’. On 10^th April, YouTube will broadcast the show for the very first time, with French band Feu! Chatterton on support.

The performances will be available to watch on U2’s Official YouTube Channel full list of dates and support slots below.
