STORIES FROM THE 'CITY'


U2 are backing their new single with a host of classic live tracks.

The stadium overlords, currently in the thick of a mammoth world tour, release ‘City Of Blinding Lights’ on June 6, the third single to be taken from new album ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’.

Along with a Killahurtz Fly Mix of ‘All Because Of You’, CD formats include live versions of ‘The Fly’ and ‘Even Better Than The Real Thing’ recorded at the Stop Sellafield concert in Manchester in 1992.

The DVD features footage recorded at the band’s guerrilla gig at New York’s Brooklyn Bridge last November.

‘City Of Blinding Lights’ is the opening track on U2’s Vertigo Tour, which arrives in the UK next month.
