RUMOURS BEGAN CIRCULATING in Boston on Monday that U2 were in town for an extra special secret show at a local bar called The Burren.
Hey, it could have happened. The band are currently in the city doing four nights in the TD Garden arena.
The band also played a surprise gig in the Somerville Theatre in the city back in 2009, so it wasn’t completely out of the question when rumours surfaced that they would be playing in the Irish pub last night.
Twitter account Secret Boston spread the rumour on their social media accounts, and it all went mad from there.
Pretty reliable source says U2's surprise show today is at The Burren in Davis.
