The film, directed by Nenad Cicin-Sain and produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, looks at the band’s relationship with the war-ravaged Sarajevo of the 1990s which included a historic concert in the city in 1997.

As well as promoting their documentary, the legendary Irish band have been preparing for their residency in Las Vegas, where they are set to perform their album Achtung Baby in full this Autumn.

The band, who have not played a live show in almost four years, are set to make $100 million (€92 million) in revenue across 25 shows at the newly constructed MSG Sphere.

“The Sphere in Las Vegas is a brand new class of entertainment venue,” said The Edge in an interview with Hot Press earlier this year.  “No one has ever seen the like of it, it’s light years ahead of anything else that’s out there. We see it as just this amazing canvas.” Read the full interview here.
