NZ Exclusive: The Rock interview Bono and The Edge from U2

The Rock radio station had an exclusive interview with megastars Bono and The Edge from U2 that will air tomorrow at 7.30am. This has been the only New Zealand interview to promote The U2 360° Tour that will come to Auckland on 25 November this year.

In a live studio link up, Roger Farrelly from The Morning Rumble spoke to the pair about The U2 360° Tour and their impending New Zealand visit. They discuss how Bono’s back is holding up after they postponed shows in May for his emergency spinal surgery, and what kiwi’s can expect to hear at Mt Smart in November which includes 4 new songs that haven’t yet been released.

The duo also spoke of their love of NZ and their past experiences in this country. Bono remembers “I jumped naked off a bridge in Queenstown, it was a bungy jump and I then mooned, which is the sort of thing I would have only done in my twenty’s”.

The interview finished off with a hint at the inclusion of New Zealand inspired ‘One Tree Hill’ on the set list. “If I was a betting man, I would guess the odds would be pretty high that we will do One Tree Hill” says The Edge.
