Formed in Dublin in 1976, U2—fronted by the iconic Bono—blended rock anthems with social activism, becoming one of the best-selling bands ever. Fun fact: They once played a surprise gig on a rooftop in Berlin (2002) and even had a song featured in *The Simpsons* (2003). Their 2023 album *Songs of Surrender* reimagined classics, while *Beautiful Day* (2000) remains a timeless hit. With a 2026 tour rumored, they’re still rocking the world—literally and figuratively!
