Dublin City Council confirms the U2 Video Shoot on Dublin Bridge

According to The Sunday Times, the Dublin city council confirmed that last Sunday’s closing of the Samuel Beckett bridge was for a U2 video shoot. Last Sunday’s closing of the bridge was to enable filming on a “U2 project” but the band members were not present. Picture of the clapper showed “Summer Nights,” and it listed Mark Romanek as the director. U2 had to pay €8,241 to close the Dublin streets for the video.

After a weeks worth of speculation I guess we have a official confirmation that what many thought was a U2 related production was a U2 production. Our guess is that the firework event on the Lough Sheelin was also a U2 related filming, but at this time there is no direct confirmation on that.
