Abstract
This chapter offers an analysis of Irish rock supergroup U2 in terms of certain spatial practices and motifs that recur throughout their music. Before going on to look in some detail at these issues, I want to consider the theoretical and methodological contexts in which such an analysis might be undertaken.
