Which city is the home of U2?

The city that is home to U2 is Dublin, Ireland.

U2 formed in Dublin in 1976 after drummer Larry Mullen Jr. posted a notice on the bulletin board at Mount Temple Comprehensive School, looking for musicians to start a band. The first rehearsal took place on September 25, 1976, in Mullen’s kitchen in Artane, a district in northeast Dublin. The original group went through the names Feedback and The Hype before becoming U2.

Dublin remained central to the band’s identity even as its career became international. Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. all became closely associated with the city’s music scene and history. The band’s early development was shaped by Dublin’s post-punk environment, while later songs and recordings continued to reference Ireland and the city. A common mistake is to choose London or New York because U2 became a major international touring act, or Los Angeles because of the band’s strong connection to the United States. Those cities were important to U2’s career, but Dublin is the band’s origin and home city.
