U2 will take time away from its "360 Tour" for a benefit concert supporting New Pathways on Friday, April 23 at the Isanti County Fairgrounds in Cambridge, Minn. Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, April 10 at newpathways.org , with six different ticket prices set from $35 - $250. Bono, lead singer of U2 became interested in New Pathways when he was introduced to founder Cheryl Gray last year at a conference on ending poverty. Bono promised Gray that if she ever needed help to call and she did. Bono stated, "I offered to do a charity gig for Gray anytime, anywhere."
Gray reports that rural homelessness is up 500 percent and New Pathways was forced to turn away 200 families last year who desperately needed help.
Bono will present Gray with a check for $1 million and all proceeds from the concert will be donated to New Pathways. U2 intends to play songs from its two platinum albums and ten gold, including "In the Name of Love," and "Sunday, Bloody Sunday."
