The docu-special is set to premiere on Disney+ next month
U2's Bono and The Edge's highly anticipated music docu-special with Dave Letterman is set to premiere globally on Disney+ on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17 – and ahead of the release, they've shared the official trailer, featuring plenty of familiar landmarks and faces, including Glen Hansard, Imelda May and Dermot Kennedy.
In the docu-special, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville captures Dave Letterman on his first visit to Dublin, to hang out with Bono and The Edge in their hometown, experience Dublin, and join the two musicians for a unique concert performance.
As well as being U2's honoured guest at an intimate concert performance at a local landmark, the former Ambassador Cinema building at the top of O’Connell Street, Letterman embarks on his own exploration of the city. He visits the legendary Forty Foot swimming spot and travels on the DART. He also narrowly escapes having to perform at a session in McDaid’s off Grafton Street – featuring Bono, The Edge, Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová, Imelda May, Loah, Saint Sister, Grian Chatten of Fontaines D.C., and Dermot Kennedy.
Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming, with Dave Letterman coincides with the release of U2's upcoming album, Songs Of Surrender, a collection of 40 iconic U2 tracks from across the band’s career, re-recorded and reimagined.
