U2 to Play Live on <em>American Idol</em>

U2 will perform live on the American Idol finale, Wednesday, May 25.

According to NME, U2 have been playing a series of U.S. dates that were re-arranged after singer Bono’s back injury forced some concerts to be cancelled last year. Manager Paul McGuinness told Billboard that the band were rehearsing yesterday (Monday, May 23) for the talent show appearance. There’s no word on what U2 will be performing.

Earlier this week, U2 picked up the Touring Award at the Billboard Music Awards. Bono said: “That’s where we live: live.”

Bono and Co. play Salt Lake City tonight and will continue playing North America this summer, with a detour to headline the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival on Friday, June 24.
