Live musicians, Hot Press' senior editors, and special guests will be at the Hot Press Covers Exhibition throughout this weekend.
Taking place in the National Photographic Archive at Meeting House Square in Temple Bar , the Covers Exhibition has been running since March and has become a pilgrimage for U2 fans, who have packed in to see our 'U2 Wall', which features signed copies of every U2 Hot Press cover over the course of 40 years.
To celebrate U2's headliner at Croke Park tomorrow evening, we'll be running U2-themed events at the Exhibition throughout the weekend.
Today (Friday, July 21), we'll have the incredible Susan O'Neill, who gained recognition for her spine-tingling cover of U2's 'Exit' earlier this year, performing at the exhibition at 2pm. We'll also have Hot Press founder and editor, Niall Stokes, from 4-5pm, who will be chatting about some of his memorable interviews with U2.

The following day - ahead of the gig itself - we'll have U2 tribute act U2 Baby playing from 2pm. One of the most acclaimed tribute acts in Europe, the band will be whetting our appetites for the evening ahead with some of U2's greatest hits. We'll also have Hot Press' interviewer-extraordinaire, Olaf Tyaransen, who has followed and interviewed the band all over the world, revealing some of their most personal moments in several extensive interviews.
Then on Sunday, we'll have a yet-to-be-announced surprise guest performing at the exhibition during the afternoon, while Hot Press' Stuart Clark will be remembering his own encounters with the band.
The Exhibition is open daily from 9.30am - 4.30pm daily. Free entry.
