Bassist Brian Vaughan meanwhile proudly touts his recreation of Adam Clayton’s sound with his Fender Jazz Bass Guitars and Ashdown Amp.
The venue promises to get the party started with its "That Thirst-day Feeling Happy House from 4pm to 9pm, while the blurb promises all the hits including Beautiful Day, With or Without You, Where the Streets Have No Name — expect to hear them chanted back by hundreds of faithful fans gathered for the occasion.
