U2+BBC

U2 will be special guests at BBC Radio on Friday 27 February when listeners can enjoy access to one of the world's greatest rock bands - including a special Live Lounge session on BBC Radio 1.

The band will be performing three tracks for a Radio 1 Live Lounge session in Jo Whiley's daytime show from 10am.

Later that day on BBC Radio 2, Chris Evans will play host to U2 on his drivetime show at 5pm, interviewing all four members of U2 about the secrets of their success, from their formation in Dublin in 1976, to nine number one albums in the UK and 22 Grammy Awards.

Chris Evans says: "When it comes to rock n roll it doesn't get any bigger than U2, and when the biggest are getting better, backed up by the sheer brilliance of their new album, it will only be a pure joy to have them as part of our little radio show for one night only."
