U2 album launch's midnight opening


(Wednesday February 18, 2009 11:57 AM)

U2 fans are expected to begin queueing outside Irish music stores to be the first to get their hands on the band's long-awaited new album.

HMV said it was opening two outlets in Dublin and Galway at midnight because of overwhelming interest in the world launch of No Line On The Horizon.

It is the first studio release from the rockers in almost five years and goes on sale in their native Ireland three days before it hits UK shelves on March 2.

The album will be released in five different formats, including CD, LP vinyl and three limited edition versions which will be accompanied by a companion film Linear.
