U2's Hype Machine Rolls On

The unprecedented hype machine that has become U2’s promotion of their new album, No Line on the Horizon, saw the band turn in another excellent performance on David Letterman Tuesday night with their performance of Magnificent, another song off the new album. The performance followed the band’s Monday performance where they played Breathe and will be followed by performances on Letterman each night this week.

Here in Boston, U2 has seemingly taken over the airways of Boston’s FM radio with WBCN, WAAF, WBMX, WZLX, WFNX, and WBOS all running contests to grant winners entry to U2’s “secret” performance next Wednesday March 11, at a yet to be announced venue. The performance is expected to include a short performance by the band and a question and answer session led by Garbage lead singer, Shirley Manson.
