Following the news last week that they'll guest as the house band on David Letterman's US TV show as part of their promotion for upcoming new album 'No Line On The Horizon', news today that U2 will play a special live set in the Live Lounge slot on Radio 1 later this month.
Bono et al will play on the nation's favourite on 27 Feb, meaning Jo Whiley, currently on maternity leave, will be back in the chair to ask some questions.
Confirming her first Live Lounge guests, Whiley told reporters last week: "It's always a bit nerve-racking going back after having a baby. But having U2 playing in the Live Lounge is especially thrilling". U2's twelfth studio album is out on 2 Mar.
