SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

Jack Pleasants joins us for U250!
"Look Up Jack, Look Up" — twenty years after joining Bono on stage during the Vertigo Tour, Jack Pleasants is coming home to Dublin for U250.
As a kid, Jack's dream of meeting Bono came true when Bono spotted 6-year-old Jack in the crowd and invited him up on the stadium stage during *City of Blinding Lights*.
Taking his hand, Bono told him "Look up Jack, look up" — a moment that inspired his lifelong passion for music.

Twenty years later, that kid from the crowd is travelling from San Francisco to Dublin to play his own music. After graduating from Yale and leaving corporate America to pursue music full-time, Jack is now an indie-pop/rock singer-songwriter with over 52,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

We're thrilled to announce that Jack will be our support for **BOTH U250 live shows!**
