U2 To Build Ireland's First Skyscraper

For their studio...

October 16, 2007 by Jason Gregory

U2 are to put their name to the first ever skyscraper to be built in Ireland.

The €200 million, ‘U2 Tower,’ will be built in the Docklands region of Dublin and will stand at 120m tall.

According to PA, the band will move their recording studio to the summit of the tower when it is opened in 2011.

The future landmark has been designed by Norman Foster, who is also responsible for the Gherkin in the city of London.

Work on the ambitious project is scheduled to begin at the start of next year.

[insert tasteless 9/11 / twin tower joke taking the piss out of U2 and their rubbishness and how Bono is a fat little dwarf who can’t really be taken down a peg or two since then he’d be about two apples tall, maybe just half a peg]

I heard the top of the building is going to feature a 50ft replica on Bono in a pose similar to Christ The Redeemer in Rio.
