The band was fined for too loud music that its levels was above for those that were set by authorities, and they rehearsed two hours more then they agreed. Those statements was released by authorites from Spain.

Last year in June, U2 practiced on local football stadium when complaints about noise were made.
But thats not all , the rockers was also fined for over noise level at Croke Park after their concert in Ireland. That was last year and the complaints were made by local residents and they handed a bill for 36,000 Euros that is $45,000.

Their first concert in Russia, capital city Moscow, in August 25. They have done the performance of Bob Dylan song called “Knocking on Heavens Door” with Yuri Shevchuck, a Russian singer. In the crowd on their concert was seen the ex-president of Russia Mikhail Gorbachev. While they were in Russia, the main singer Bono met with Dmitry Medvedev the todays president of Russia, and The Edge had spend some of  his free time with Russian astronauts.

Even with all those penalties incurred, U2 has not given up from Spain. They are comming next month in Sevilla. The concert have been pushed day back, so anyone who is commign on that concert should pack their bags day earlier and come on 30 September.

The problem probbably ocure in traffic, public transport and security services.
