U2 has announced a 30th anniversary limited edition gatefold version of Zooropa. The transparent yellow vinyl pressing celebrates three decades of U2’s GRAMMY-winning eighth studio album. The release, coming in October, will also coincide with the band’s live return—they’re set to premiere U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at The Sphere on September 29 in Las Vegas.
Produced by Flood, Brian Eno, and The Edge, Zooropa was released on July 5, 1993 on Island Records. U2 began writing and recording Zooropa in Dublin in February of that year during a six-month break between legs of the industry-defining ZOO TV tour.
On Wednesday, July 12, fans can celebrate the album’s anniversary with a global live stream of ZOO TV: Live From Sydney at noon PT. Pre-order Zooropa (30th Anniversary Limited Edition Gatefold) here, and check out the teaser for ZOO TV: Live From Sydney below.
