The Joshua Tree remains one of the most iconic albums in U2’s catalogue. It has just been celebrated in a 30th anniversary edition released in June 2017, which featured alongside the original acclaimed cover set of new and repurposed graphics.
The Joshua Tree is now getting a new make-over with a tribute album that features 11 of the best and brightest names on the Irish music scene, each performing their own version of a song from the original album.
