15/08/1980 Theatre Hall, Gorey, Wexford, Ireland. 11 O’clock Tick Tock Leg 2

U2’s dates in Ireland with the Myster Men, I’m calling Leg 1. I have grouped together a bunch of dates and called it Leg 2.These dates include U2’s English dates on the 11 o’clock Tick Tock tour. Plus the festival dates they played in Ireland after the tour. Also included is an extra date they played at the Marquee in London with The Photo’s.

On the original tour dates 22/05/80 Hope & Anchor – 07/06/80 Half Moon Club, Fashion were the support group used by U2. Fashion were given the “Headline” slot on the Birmingham date, as this is their home town. On the dates added in July for their London concerts. Medium Medium & Midnight & The Lemon Boys were the support bands used. The concert at the Half Moon Club, Herne Hill, became U2’s first sell out UK gig.
