U2X

U2 is getting its own SIRIUSXM channel, U2X RADIO, launching in 2020, the band announced during its concert in TOKYO that featured a cut-in with BONO talking to HOWARD STERN and a FACEBOOK Live stream. The deal also includes exclusive content for PANDORA.

BONO said, "Generally when I open my mouth people prefer if I'm singing, but on U2X RADIO, maybe they'll forgive me the odd interruption…"

ADAM CLAYTON said,  "I'm not entirely sure what this is but what it isn't is an opportunity to hear some bass solos… U2 24/7. Welcome to the last 43 years of my life."

LARRY MULLEN said, "It all sounds exhausting to me but if people really want to listen to us for 24 hours a day, this is the way to do it."

THE EDGE observed, "So I get to sit around having a laugh with my musician friends and playing our favorite music. As I always say, I have the best job in the world!"

And SIRIUSXM Pres./Chief Content Offier SCOTT GREENSTEIN added, "U2 has unparalleled influence as musicians, social activists and global cultural icons. The band's ability to evolve has enabled it to create a large and diverse library of hit songs, as well as four-plus decades' worth of renowned live performances. U2X RADIO and the offering on PANDORA will provide listeners new access and insights into one of the world's most accomplished bands. We could not be more excited to welcome BONO, THE EDGE, ADAM and LARRY to the SIRIUSXM family."
