Tribfest — The Field of Dreams

T-Bono on the biggest gig of the lot — the Tribfest Main Stage. A £39.99 tent, his late dad's rosary beads, thousands of voices singing back, and the hour a daydream carried for years finally became a memory.

T-Bono reflects on a very special night for U2.V2 — our eighth show, a homecoming across the road from his old business, and the night an imaginary concert played a thousand times finally became real.
