This is a complete list of known U2 concerts that took place in Ireland in 1978. I have spent many hours trawling the Irish Newspaper Archive, The Dublin Library and talking to those that were there, too make this the most complete document of U2’s early career. This site would not be possible without them, the Dublin Library & the Irish Newspaper Archive.

This is the first time Paul McGuinness see’s U2 live. After the concert Paul takes U2 for a drink in the Granary bar next door. Paul buys the drinks as, legally he is the only one old enough to drink. It will take a couple of months before Paul agrees to be U2’s manager.
This concert is reviewed in Hot Press, U2’s first, it won’t be their last.
