02/11/1978 Arts Building, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. U2 & The Hype Concerts 1978.

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.

U2 had an edge over most of their rivals when it came to these city centre gigs as they did not have to transport their equipment across town. Dik Evans had rooms at Trinity College, which U2 would use these for practice sessions and to store their equipment.

Hot Press Frontlines by Liam Mackey. There’s a possibility that U2 will record a single for the Mulligan label. Again, it’s all very tentative at the moment, but don’t say that we didn’t tell you about it first………
