New material to be showcased in prime-time TV slot

By Paul Williams

U2 WILL PERFORM ON A LIVE UK TV BROADCAST for the first time since opening Live 8 with Paul McCartney in July 2005 when they play this year's Brit Awards.

The band, who will perform new single Get On Your Boots, are the second act confirmed for the February 18 ceremony at London's Earls Court following the Pet Shop Boys. They were announced last November as 2009's outstanding contribution recipients. Rumoured hosts for this year's event are Mat Horne, James Corden and Kylie Minogue.

U2 last performed at the Brits in 2001, when they were not only named best international group for a record fifth time but became the first non-UK act to be given the outstanding contribution award in the event's history. They closed the show with a set of One, Beautiful Day and Until The End Of The World.
