Experience the Release of U2's No Line on The Horizon at Unique Pop Up Art Installation in Los Angeles

SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Experience U2's new album, No Line on The Horizon (Interscope Records), in a most unusual way -- via a two-day-only pop up art installation. No Line on The Horizon will debut at the art installation on Monday, March 2nd (the day before the album's official release), from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Space 15 Twenty gallery, 1520 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles. The installation will also be open to the public Tuesday, March 3rd, from noon to 9 p.m.

Featuring a multimedia celebration of the album and its art, centered on Anton Corbijn's photography of the band and a screening of "Linear," his film based on characters Bono created for No Line on The Horizon and including songs from the album, the gallery space will reflect the cool, clean, modern aesthetic of the album art.

No Line on The Horizon, which has been advanced by the single "Get on Your Boots," will be played at the gallery and be available for purchase. Accompanying the first 500 album purchases will be a free, limited edition U2/Anton Corbijn lithograph. In addition, other exclusive, collaborative merchandise, such as silk-screened Edun shirts, will be offered.

No Line on The Horizon, U2's 12th studio album and first since 2004's monumental How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, is presented in five formats: jewel case CD; double-disc vinyl; digipak CD with an expanded booklet, a poster, and access to a downloadable "Linear"; magazine CD, with 60-page magazine and "Linear" access; and box set, with digipak CD, "Linear" DVD, a 64-page hardcover book, and a poster. Rolling Stone has already awarded No Line on The Horizon five stars, calling the album U2's "best, in its textural exploration and tenacious melodic grip, since 1991's Achtung Baby."

The pop up art installation, which will include an interactive photo area, is sponsored by Interscope Records, Amoeba Music, Gallery Space, Space 15 Twenty and Filter Magazine.
