Bono and co performed inside the 65-foot construction on their two-year tour in 2009 across the world, and now fans will be able to go and visit it at Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, in Draper, Utah, where it will be used for education purposes to encourage people to help protect the planet and its species.

Brent Anderson, CEO of LLPA, said: "We are excited to bring this iconic monument to its permanent home in Utah.

"This landmark will shine a light on our mission to inspire people to explore, discover, and learn about Earth's diverse ecosystems."

Chris Evans, the 'Get Out Of Your Own Way' hitmakers' tour director, commented: "It's bittersweet to see it go, but we are pleased it's going to enhance the mission and vision of Loveland Living Planet Aquarium as part of its expanded campus."

Loveland Living Planet is a new science learning campus that aims to empower millions of guests to explore, discover, and learn about Earth's diverse ecosystems.

Meanwhile, the 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' hitmakers are set to perform two homecoming shows in Dublin, Ireland as part of their 'U2 eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour'.

The iconic band will perform at the 3Arena on November 5 and November 6, and prior to that, on October 27, they'll bring their energetic live show to The SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
