The BBC reports that U2 returned to its Dublin school to mark fifty years. The gig was in the yard of the campus where the members first met, not an arena add-on. The story is about going back to the start. The summary does not list the songs.

The BBC reports that U2, at fifty years, went back to Dublin and played at the school where the band formed, in the yard where the members first met. It is a return to the starting point. The facts you can take straight from the report are fifty years, Dublin, and the schoolyard. The school name, the set list, and whether tickets were sold to the public are in the BBC story. This brief does not add them.
