U2 takes 11-song Tate Modern set to BBC on Nov. 28

U2 will air an 11-song Tate Modern session on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer on Nov. 28, a trade-press report by NME said Friday, extending the rollout of the band’s 16th studio album.

The special turns a one-off Nov. 3 museum concert into a multi-platform release tied to ‘Carnaval de Luz,’ which came out Nov. 13 after U2 marked 50 years with Dublin shows in September.

The programme, titled ‘U2: Live On The BBC At Tate Modern,’ is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. GMT. NME said the concert will also be simulcast outside the UK on BBC Music’s YouTube channel.

Jonathan Rothery, Head of BBC Popular Music TV, said: “U2 are one of the world’s most loved bands, so it was a privilege to have them perform such a special session for the BBC.” He added that the performance “promises to be a real treat for fans.”

Jo Whiley said: “U2’s performance at Tate Modern was truly memorable. I don’t think I’ve heard them in better form, and to see them once again push the boundaries of performance, this time honouring their long-term collaborator Brian Eno in such a creative and unique way, was thrilling for all to see.”

The Tate Modern set launched ‘Carnaval de Luz’ and included the live debut of the recent single ‘The Greatest Show On Earth.’ U2 also premiered ‘Can’t Stop Us Now’ and played older songs including ‘The Unforgettable Fire,’ ‘With Or Without You,’ ‘Bad,’ ‘One’ and ‘Beautiful Day.’

The staging used Brian Eno’s artwork ‘77 Million Paintings’ as an immersive backdrop, according to NME. Eno, U2’s longtime producer and collaborator, was in the audience.

The BBC’s audio rollout follows on Nov. 30, when the set is due to air on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. as part of Whiley’s show, alongside a new interview with members of U2.

The special arrives before U2’s 2027 UK and European stadium tour, ‘The Greatest Show On Earth,’ with Wolf Alice. NME said the UK leg includes four June dates at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, with further dates also announced in Mexico City and South America.
