11 years and counting, the U2 Station has served millions of U2 fans on the net. We are here to constantly improve this website and provide you with world class content on U2. Please email us If you would like to become a contributing writer to this website.

In early March of 1997, U2 were on the verge of releasing their first studio album in over four years. At that time, there were only a handful of websites that excelled in delivering vital information about U2's music while offering a wide variety of U2 media. The U2 Station was created during that time to give fans complete coverage about the band.

Now eleven years later, the site has received critical acclaim from not only millions of fans, but from several organizations/corporations including the Jubilee Network, African Well Fund, Rolling Stone Online, MTV, VH1, and a member of U2's organization itself. In the late 1990's, U2's corporate members were coming to this website for guidance and insight on creating their own official site for promoting official U2 merchandise. Today, in the 21st century, U2 Station has set the standard for many official band sites online.

We here at U2Station.com offer an active forum, daily news blog, AJAX-powered chatroom, an official Flickr account for fans to post their own images, a vast concert/tour archive, over 300 guitar tablature files for educational purposes, an exclusive resource of music and film releases called the U2ography, original fan features and much more. On average, U2Station.com receives over 75,000 hits and 3,000 visitors per day.
