At which Dublin school did the future members of U2 meet?

The future members of U2 met at Mount Temple Comprehensive School in Dublin.

The school was the setting for the teenage musical connections that led to U2. In September 1976, Larry Mullen Jr. posted a notice seeking musicians, and several students responded, including Paul Hewson, David Evans, Adam Clayton, and David Evans’s brother Dik.

The group changed names and line-ups during its early development. Dik Evans later left the band, while the core quartet of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. continued as U2.

Mount Temple is therefore more than a biographical footnote: it is part of the band’s origin story. The school is often mentioned alongside Dublin’s early punk and rock scene, which provided important performance opportunities as U2 developed its sound.
