Midnight opening for U2 album launch
U2 fans are expected to begin queuing outside Irish music stores next week to be the first to get their hands on the band's long-awaited new album.
HMV said it was opening two outlets in Grafton Street, Dublin and Galway at midnight on Thursday, 26 February because of overwhelming interest in the world launch of 'No Line on the Horizon'.
It is the first studio release from the band in almost five years and goes on sale in Ireland three days before it hits UK shelves on 2 March.
HMV will be opening their Grafton Street, Dublin and Eyre Square, Galway stores at midnight on Thursday February 26 so that Irish fans can be among the first in the world to get a copy of the album.
“We’ve had an incredible amount of interest with a considerable number of pre-orders,” says HMV’s Gennaro Castaldo. “We advise fans to come down early to be in with a chance of receiving a U2 goody bag.”
With No Line On The Horizon not out elsewhere until early the following week, it’s expected that hundreds of hardcore U2 fans will be flying in to get a head start on their compatriots.
