U2 Free Global Live Stream Watch Party ZOO TV: Live From Sydney

Concerts, Experiences, Television/Streaming Premiere | Jul 12, 2023

Interscope Records, Island Records

On Wednesday, July 12, 2023 fans can celebrate the Anniversary of U2’s Grammy-winning eighth studio album Zooropa, with a very special global live stream of ZOO TV: Live From Sydney at 12 noon PST / 8pm BST.

Island Records, Interscope, and UMe also announced the release of the Zooropa 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Gatefold, a transparent yellow vinyl pressing celebrating three decades of U2’s Zooropa. This special release is coming in October 2023 to coincide with the band’s next ambitious project – their long-awaited live return with U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at The Sphere, which kicks off on September 29, 2023, for a run of shows in Las Vegas.

Produced by Flood, Brian Eno, and The Edge, Zooropa was released July 5, 1993, on Island Records. U2 began writing and recording Zooropa in Dublin in February of that year, during a six-month break between legs of the industry-defining ZOO TV Tour. Initially intended as just an EP, Zooropa became a fully-fledged album with 10 tracks – including singles “Numb,” “Lemon,” and “Stay (Faraway, So Close!)” – recorded in just six weeks, making it the fastest U2 album ever produced.

Inspired by the band’s experiences on the ZOO TV Tour, Zooropa expanded on many of the tour’s themes of technology and media oversaturation. The album went to Number 1 in Ireland, the USA, the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Sweden, Austria, France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland.

In 1994, Zooropa saw the band collect the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.
