This is not a drill folks!

U2 are set to a Live In Dublin 1993 EP this August featuring five tracks recorded at their show at the RDS in the summer of 1993.

How cool is that?

The iconic outdoor show was the hometown stop on the European Zooropa leg of their groundbreaking ZOO TV Tour.

At the time, the show was also broadcasted on radio, allowing almost 700 million fans around the world to listen in with a ZOO TV invitation to “Watch More Radio”.

While the tour itself, saw U2 perform in front of 5.3 million fans over 157 shows, supporting their 1991 album Achtung Baby.

The EP will feature Zoo Station, Mysterious Ways, Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms Around The World, Stay (Faraway, So Close!) and Love Is Blindness.

So, all the classics basically!

There’s certainly no slowing these Irish legends down as just earlier this year they finished up their record breaking residency at Las Vegas’ MSG Sphere.

Their final show saw them pay tribute to drummer Larry Mullen Jr. as he was forced to miss out on the residency, having been recovering from neck surgery.

Speaking on the night, U2 lead singer Bono told the audience: “Not since October 1978 have we played shows without Larry Mullen Jr., and it’s only right I start by introducing the man who saved the day when Larry Mullen could not make it”.

Adding: “His name is already legend around here to people who can pronounce it. The flying while sitting-in Dutchman, Bram van den Berg on drums”.
