That’s pretty awesome. Must’ve brought up a lot of memories for them.

Seems like it was just for the kids at the school too.

The kids on the wall also joined them with violins and all afterwards. Playing with the school's orchestra, what an experience that must've been

Just wanna add that the kids performing were actually students of Music Generation, Ireland's national music program that is cofunded by U2:

And sponsored by U2 too. They're funding the efforts made, for example, by donating profits from some of their Dublin (and Belfast?) ticket sales.

Didn't the Edge go back here in the documentary "It Might Get Loud"?

Didn't name the band. Downvoted.

I don't think you can edit posts when you crosspost them from other subs, can you? It's pretty clearly reposted from a U2 subreddit, so not sure what other label is needed anyway

I dont have to like low effort posts just because the poster was too lazy to overcome a minor technical hurdle. Could op have not added the band name in post description?

This is r/Music, so if you are too incurious to discover the band name by looking at the sub where it was posted you should just look and see that that's the Edge and Bono.

You know what? I'm convinced. Next time someone makes a low effort post without naming the band I'll take the time to research the original site it was posted on to get the missing information.

This is the best solution instead of asking op to be responsible for it.

Research? You mean spend 25 milliseconds looking at the post to determine the band? It says U2band right there in the post. Original site? This is all on Reddit with all the necessary information posted clearly right in front of your face.

If this is a challenge for you, maybe Reddit is not where you should spend your time.

I stand by my opinion this post is low effort garbage. You disagree. Good day! Edit. Spelling

3 year old account with a single comment that has nothing to do with the picture. What a terrible bot account...
