Originally posted by KaiserJoseRumour has reached me that the band are in town to appear at the European premiere of U23D, or 'Raindance' or Bono put it: does anyone know if this is true and what cinema they're appearing at?

Cineworld cinema on Parnell street for one of tomorrow nights screenings. I'm gonna be there. They better show. It said last week on the U23D website that they were confirmed to attend but the 'live events' menu has dissapeared.

EDIT : it's still on the U23D site under the 'preview screenings' section. All 3 of tomorrows screenings are sold out though.

The band and 'U23D' director Catherine Owens were in Dublin tonight for the European premiere.


They were joined by a huge crowd of family and friends - we spotted Danny Lanois, Gavin Friday, Simon Carmody and Barry Devlin.

Arriving just after eight, Edge, Larry, Adam, Bono and Catherine stopped to chat with fans outside the Parnell Cinemax before heading inside to introduce the film... twice. There were so many guests that the film was shown on two screens. Welcomed on stage by Grainne Humphreys, Director of the Irish Film Festival, the band paid tribute to the team who have worked so long on bringing the digital 3D live production together - as well as the Irish public who have supported them over so many years.

In fact Bono wistfully recalled a moment lying on the ground with Catherine Owens on Dublin's O'Connell Street at four in the morning... on his seventeenth birthday.
