On September 25, U2 reunited at Mount Temple Comprehensive School in Dublin to celebrate the 50th anniversary of when the band was formed by drummer Larry Mullen Jr., who posted a note on a school noticeboard seeking musicians. The group performed for hundreds of students, marking their first appearance together in Ireland since 2018. This special performance included hits like "I Will Follow," "Vertigo," and "With Or Without You." Prior to the school event, they also gave an impromptu concert on Grafton Street in Dublin, playing from a balcony at Bewley’s Cafe. U2, who have sold over 170 million records globally, are currently promoting their new album Carnaval De Luz, which features a duet with the late Dolly Parton titled "Torn."
