You wouldn’t think there would be too many people complaining about hearing U2 play, but apparently the residents of Barcelona aren’t too happy about the rock-act performing into the night!
In fact, the Irish rockers have been fined by the city of Barcelona after rehearsing too late into the night and too loudly!
An anonymous source from Barcelona City Hall said the band were fined €18,000 ($AU25,786) after residents near the venue complained in June 2009 about the rockers rehearsing late into the night at uber-loud decibels!
The band were rehearsing for their 2009 360º Tour. Barcelona seem to have cottoned on that fining ultra-rich stars is a great way for some easy revenue gathering – according to Associated Press, Colombian singer Shakira could be fined for recording a video in the city without a permit, dancing in a fountain and riding a motorbike without a helmet!
Feel free to rehearse all you like when you come down under boys!
Check out the video below and see why we don’t mind U2 playing at eardrum-busting levels.
