U2 Stars Watch Themselves Perform In 3D

Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton – better known as U2 – have watched themselves in 3D for the first time.

The band members joined queues of fans to watch ‘U2 3D’, a film which follows the band during the South American leg of their 2005 Vertigo tour.

Speaking at the film’s premiere at the Sundance Festival, Bono said: "It's kind of horrific. It's bad enough on a small screen. Now you get to see the lard arse 40-foot tall."

The band’s guitarist, The Edge, told AP that he was glad to find out that the band “we weren't crap after all these years”.

The 80-minute film was shot using new technology which gives fans a unique insight into the band’s live performance.

The film goes on general release in cinemas across the world from January 25th.
