What You May Not Have Known About U2

U2 is one of the brightest stars in the music galaxy, growing in activism and popularity for over 25 years. Here are a few things you may not have known about the band U2…

Band member Bono’s real name is Paul Hewson. Bono Vox means Good Voice.

Featured songs which went on to win ‘Record of the Year’ Grammy Awards in two consecutive years include ‘Beautiful Day’ in 2001 and ‘Walk On’ in 2002. They both came from the album “All That You Can’t Leave Behind,” the only time this has ever happened.

During one of U2’s first dates outside Ireland, they played a gig at the ‘Islington’s Hope and Anchor’ event to a crowd of only nine people.

Bono and the Edge are co-owners of the Clarence Hotel in Dublin.
