Biography

"What I like about pop music, and why I’m still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music." — Bono

Formed 1976 in Dublin, Ireland
The Irish band's third album, 1983's War, hit No. 12 on the Billboard 200 and yielded their first Top 40 hit, "Pride (In The Name Of Love)."
U2 won their first two career GRAMMY Awards for 1987 for The Joshua Tree: Album Of The Year and Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. They made their GRAMMY performance debut with "Beautiful Day" at the 43rd GRAMMY Awards in 2001.
