You were probably starting to think all of U2's performances on UK television and radio had been announced. The coming week has a number of appearances, then the band head across the Atlantic to play on Letterman and Good Morning America. Well, they are coming back to play another time in the UK - on Adam's 49th birthday, no less. On the 13th of March, Red Nose Day, Comic Relief are taking over the BBC. This includes a special one-off edition of Top Of The Pops between 10pm-10:30 on BBC Two. This will feature a performance by U2, as well as Oasis, and Rob Brydon and Ruth Jones will play their Comic Relief single.

See the BBC's full listing here, which also includes other special programming by Comic Relief on BBC One.

Update 27/02: Evidently the band aren't quite playing on Adam's birthday after all. After performing on Jonathan Ross's show on 26/02, the band were taped playing Get On Your Boots for this event. Tune in on 13/03 to see the broadcast of this performance!
