U2 play at Celtic Park
In August 1993, U2 brought the Zooropa Tour to Celtic Park for two nights, and set the place rocking.
At the time they were arguably the biggest rock band in the world, so it was an honour to have them play at Celtic.
Despite what you might think of Bono (who seems to rile up different people in different ways), you have to respect this band for what they have achieved, and Celtic Park rocked for two great nights linking Ireland to Scotland through pure music.
Q Magazine ranked this as one of the best gigs of all time! See below notes.
Q Magazine
In its September 1996 issue, Q Magazine (back then a very influential high-browed UK based music magazine) ran a survey to poll what have been the best gigs of all time.
U2’s concert at Celtic Park in 1993 was rated in this survey as one of the best concerts ever, and was the only entry from 1993, thus putting it as the best gig in the whole world for that year.
Another notch on the belt for Celtic Park.
Oasis’ concert at Maine Rd was ranked as the best of the decade so far (1990’s) (another bunch of Celtic fans so a nice double in some ways for Celtic).
