:09:14. > :09:18.Noah And The Whale, Tonight's The Kind Of Night. Lovely stuff. The
:09:18. > :09:23.band who are headlining the Pyramid Stage a long road to get here. They
:09:23. > :09:26.were supposed to headline last year. Due to a bit of a back, a bit of a
:09:26. > :09:31.back, they couldn't do it. They are here this year, that is for sure. I
:09:31. > :09:41.have seen a couple of them around. That is official. You will get the
:09:41. > :09:43.
:09:43. > :09:49.entire show across BBC Two and BBC The 27 year Glastonbury rumour has
:09:49. > :09:53.finally come true. Ever since becoming Dublin's biggest export,
:09:53. > :09:56.U2 have been an obvious match for the world's greatest musical
:09:56. > :10:04.festival. Year-on-year their fans hopes have been dashed. Last year
:10:04. > :10:09.they came all so close. It still wasn't to be. Tonight, Bono, Larry,
:10:09. > :10:13.Adam and the Edge will take to the Pyramid Stage with a quarter of a
:10:13. > :10:18.century's expectation weighing an their shoulders. If any band can
:10:18. > :10:25.rise to the occasion, this one can. The world's biggest rock band
:10:25. > :10:31.started out on the tough streets on the north side of Dublin. Riding
:10:31. > :10:38.the wave of post-punk rebel punk they emerged at the dawn of the 0's
:10:38. > :10:48.with a unique brand of rousing anthems. Songs about Christianity,
:10:48. > :10:55.war and the Irish Troubles set the tone for U2's moral message. All
:10:55. > :11:01.this with great performances established them them in England
:11:01. > :11:11.and America. America would define the next stage in the U2 story. The
:11:11. > :11:12.
:11:12. > :11:19.band wrote a two album love letter # Where the streets have no name...
:11:19. > :11:23.That band photo in the The Joshua Tree the duet B.B. King and playing
:11:23. > :11:30.havoc with LA traffic drove them to the top of the charts as they
:11:30. > :11:37.became the biggest band on earth. By the '90s, mega band U2 were
:11:37. > :11:47.playing the world's largest stadiums. Defined as much with
:11:47. > :11:48.
:11:48. > :11:53.Bono's passion for politics as they were by Edge's guitar sounds. The
:11:53. > :12:01.band reinvented their image and their sound with the more
:12:01. > :12:06.experimental albums, Achtung Baby and zoo Europa. They performed on
:12:06. > :12:12.rooftops and moving vehicles. No strange erts to the odd slow Balad
:12:12. > :12:18.the likes of With Or Without You have made sure they are high up in
:12:18. > :12:26.the wedding first dance charts too. So, it seems whatever the event,
:12:26. > :12:31.whatever the scale, U2 are the rock band for the job. Glastonbury's no
:12:31. > :12:35.exception. I was there last summer at Glastonbury, to do a bit of a
:12:35. > :12:41.recce. Got up there with Mews, I had a fantastic time much we are so
:12:41. > :12:46.excited, just to be part of it is such an exciting thing for us. This
:12:46. > :12:56.is the best festival in the world. It has been a long time coming,
:12:56. > :12:59.
:12:59. > :13:02.finally, tonight, Worthy Farm There you go. The story of U2
:13:02. > :13:06.condensed. It's getsing very exciting. Whether you love love the
:13:06. > :13:11.headline act or not at a festival like this, there is a great
:13:11. > :13:16.euphoria that the biggest band in the world, probably, is here, right
:13:16. > :13:20.now. Jo is in the pits with Space Odyssey Blairing out from the
:13:21. > :13:23.streets as we await the arrival. Here's Jo. This is the moment that
:13:23. > :13:28.many people thought wouldn't happen. It has been a long time going.
:13:28. > :13:38.Tonight they are here, flying in especially for Glastonbury, with a
