Q Radio will exclusively broadcast U2's entire show from Sheffield's Don Valley Stadium on the night of Thursday, 20 August.
The live broadcast is the centrepiece of an evening of programming dedicated to U2 under the banner U2 360. The night will kick off at 7pm, with Billy Sloane conducting a pre-show interview with the band.
At 8pm Q Radio will unveil the U2 Top 12 interactive chart - which will be made up of the band's best-loved songs as voted for by fans in an online poll.
The live show itself is due to start at 9pm and will run through until midnight.
In addition to the radio broadcast, QTV will dedicate a day's programming to Bono and his merry men on 20 August.
U2's 360 tour is already the biggest grossing tour of the year.
Q Radio is available on Freeview Channel 716 and Virgin Channel 878, online here and on DAB in London. If you have an iPhone, you can type www.qthemusic.com/listen into your iPhone's internet browser to access the station.

Can't wait for Saturday Millenium Stadium show!
Can't stand all the naysayers who insist on knocking Bono's political stance. If you were in his position and had the ears of all those political reptiles desperate to grab the U2 vote, wouldn't you do your bit too?

Can you define "exclusive" for me, please?
To my certain knowledge this exact show is being broadcast on Last FM, Radio Aire, Radio City and Kerrang! Radio - whereas my understanding of the term "exclusive broadcast" is that it is limited to a single station ...
