U2

U2 are an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1976. They comprise Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.. Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style has evolved throughout their career yet has maintained an anthemic quality built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's chiming, effects-based guitar sounds. Bono's lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and sociopolitical themes. Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several elaborate tours.
