co.nz looks back at the history of U2 in New Zealand, with our exclusive U2 archive of Herald articles and reviews. (See links below)
Their first tour in 1984 elicited little coverage in the Herald, but five years later, Bono and the band were certifiable superstars, as you can see from Louise Matthews' 1989 story.
We also look back at the band's special connection with New Zealand, with coverage of stage manager Greg Carroll's untimely death in 1986, which later inspired the famed track One Tree Hill.
Judging by both Dominic Roskrow and Russell Baillie's past reviews, fans will be in for an epic, if slightly surprising, evening next weekend.
In 1989 Roskrow wrote "after five years, it took a while for the band and crowd to make friends again".
With 13 years between visits, it's hard to say how relations have fared, but given the fanatical response to last year's tour announcement, it looks like absence has only made New Zealanders' hearts fonder.
For those of you old enough to remember, we've dug out past album reviews for you to reminisce over. For those who were too young, now's the time to learn what makes U2 such magical music makers, and arguably the greatest rock band the world has ever known.
