U2 YouTube Refresh

Video Listing

In September 2020 U2 announced a refresh of their YouTube channel was coming. The announcement said that a focus would be put on updating the content with new, higher resolution videos. For the remainder of 2020, new videos were added weekly. Only a handful have been at 4K resolution, the bulk are at a maximum resolution of 1080p. Below you will find the list of the refreshed videos to date, as well as the date they’ve been uploaded, and the maximum quality. Those marked with a (+) are a refresh of an older video, instead of a new upload. Doing so maintains the original upload date of the video, comments, and views. The links below lead to the video on YouTube, to see our documentation of the videos, including director, locations, and more, see the “Videos by Date” or “Videos by Title” on the right.
