With over 5,700 items in our news database, it's a safe bet you haven't read all of them! Here's a sampling of what the band were up to during previous holiday seasons.

Interview with Bono on Christmas Eve," BBC Radio, 1997

Jo: Is the Christmas tree up in the house now?

Bono: Yep. I'm sitting right beside it now in this room. It's got a load of mirrorballs hanging from it...and a lemon.

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for," Hot Press, 1988

As U2 prepare to enter the final year of the decade, Bono devotes a long night at his home in Dublin to reflecting on his life, his music and U2's extraordinary career to date.

"Rockin' in the Not So Free World," NME, 1989

Then it's back to center stage and he's singing of inevitable destruction, of the terror of which Nagasaki was only a taster. "If the mountains should tumble and fall to the sea/No not a tear no not I." The abstract words spiral, the irresistible drive of the music ignites the audience. The urgency is a world away from the formality under which Japan hides its heart. U2 had come to Japan and for a short time it seemed like Japan had come to U2.
