U2’s song "New Year's Day", released 40 years ago, was inspired by the Solidarity movement in Poland.
In honour of this anniversary, OFF Piotrkowska in Łódź has created a fantastic mural – U2 Gate. OFF Piotrkowska is an iconic retail, office and entertainment space in the heart of Łódź, which was developed by Irish company OPG Property Professionals.
Ambassador Haughey attended a special concert to officially launch the mural on 23 September. Guests were treated to a brilliant performance by the Irish artist Jules Maxwell, playing some of his own songs, as well as some of U2’s greatest hits.
