U2 show at Tate Modern will be broadcast on BBC Two
See U2 perform 'The Greatest Show on Earth' at the Tate Modern below.
The concert given by U2 earlier this month at Tate Modern will be broadcast on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer on November 28 at 10.10 p.m. Simultaneously, it will be streamed on BBC Music's YouTube channel outside of the UK.
The set includes favourites like 'With or Without You' and new tracks 'Can't Stop Us Now' and 'The Greatest Show on Earth' from Carnaval de Luz.
The performance is complemented by a backdrop of Brian Eno's artwork, consisting of randomised projected colourful visuals. Eno released his digital software '77 Million Paintings', which creates randomised music and image combinations, in 2006.
"A lot of rock and roll bands went to art school… U2 didn’t go to school, we went to Brian Eno", Bono said as the English musician and producer joined the band onstage.
The private concert was performed to an audience of art students; young artists and creatives; BBC Radio 2 listeners who drew ballots; and established musicians, among them Noel Gallagher and Lily Allen.
The set will be broadcast on Saturday, November 28 at 10.10 p.m., as the focal point of an evening of U2-themed broadcasting. It will be preceded by a compilation of the band's BBC performances over the years, and followed by Tracks of My Years, which sees the bandmembers choose ten songs that most impacted their lives.
The performance will remain available on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds after broadcasting, with select tracks available on YouTube.
