Description
PopMart is remembered for its McDonald’s arch, the giant lemon inside which U2 got trapped in grand Spinal Tap style, the disastrous first gig in Vegas and half empty stadiums in the U.S. U2 would go on to play some of its greatest gigs later in the tour, but its still remembered as U2’s folly. But the backstory of why manager Paul McGuinness pushed the band so hard to book the tour so early which rushed the completion of Pop and left U2 woefully unrehearsed for the tour is steeped in tales of U2 facing bankruptcy and an internal struggle for power. Tune in for all the answers.
