About U2

Who doesn’t know about U2? They are recognized worldwide and have an amazing 22 Grammy’s under their belt! U2 hails from Dublin Ireland and consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar) and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion).

U2 actually was formed back in 1976 when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. By the mid-1980s, the band had become a top international act, noted for Bono’s impassioned vocals, and The Edge’s textural guitar playing. Their success as a live act was greater than their success at selling records until their 1987 album The Joshua Tree. U2 responded to the dance and alternative rock revolutions and their own sense of musical stagnation by reinventing themselves with their 1991 album Achtung Baby and the accompanying Zoo TV Tour. Similar experimentation continued for the rest of the 1990s. Since 2000, U2 pursued a more conventional rock sound that retains the influence of their previous musical explorations.

U2 have sold more than 145 million albums worldwide and have won 22 Grammy Awards,which is more than any other band. In 2005, the band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. Throughout their career, as a band and as individuals, they have campaigned for human rights and social justice causes, including Amnesty International, the ONE Campaign, and Bono’s DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade in Africa) campaign.
