  2. The U2 Conference, in partnership with The Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice, Queen’s University, and Fitzroy Presbyterian Church, will meet 13-15 June 2018 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, for academic and general audience sessions on the theme U2: POPVision. The conference is open to all scholars, critics, teachers, students, composers, performers and fans, and invites all disciplinary interests to explore the music, work and influence of U2, giving particular attention to U2’s Pop era of 1997-98 from a perspective some 20 years on. All modes of presentation are welcomed, with a deadline for all proposals of December 31, 2017.

    The way this conference is set up should give room for a number of disciplines to participate.

  3. Thanks for helping us explain it!
  4. So I see that the Stone Roses are playing Belfast on June 13, 2018. That would be a great opportunity to see a band that doesn't play live often. Sadly, I can't make it.
  5. And I'm going to be in London for all three days.
  6. I will be at the conference for the first time. Anyone else from the Netherlands?
