This year’s U2 Fan events will kick off at Slane. A place close to the U2 family where U2 started their career with a support slot to Thin Lizzy. It's also where they took up residency at Slane Castle to record their Unforgettable Fire album and, of course, their headline shows at Slane Castle that turned into the Sort of Homecoming DVD.
On 4 Nov, there will be a U2 Slane Day Out: U2 fans will leave Dublin on a private coach with the first stop Slane Castle where the Fans will be given an exclusive tour of the castle and shown which rooms U2 played, rehearsed and recorded at the castle.
An option for a tour of the new Slane Whiskey distillery will also be available on the day or you can just sit back and sample the the beautiful Slane Whisky and grab a bite to eat at Browne’s Bar at the Castle where lots of U2 memorabilia is on display.
Then off to IMRO Live Venue Award winners “Boyles of Slane” where the fantastic U2BABY will perform to the lucky few who manage get tickets to this special event. A return bus will then take the quick trip back to Dublin.
