(Radio.com) U2 were originally scheduled to play KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas last December, but a bike accident derailed those plans. Now, the band is making up for their cancellation with a special show, to be held May 28 at the Roxy in Los Angeles.

In an interview with KROQ's Kevin and Bean on Monday morning, Bono said that the show will be one of their smallest in such a theater in nearly four decades.

'Roxy's this kind of legend, and all these extraordinary artists have played there--people who are really important to us like Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen," he said. "I saw Iggy Pop there, which is mind-blowing' So, you organized it for us. And thank you."

He added, when asked if getting such a big band into a small space will be tough: 'Well, with the egos of Larry, Adam and Edge it's gonna be tricky. I'll be fine. I'll just swan past security. Edge's pedals, where are we gonna put them? He's got like NASA on the side of the stage?" Read more here.
