U2 to be musical guest on Saturday Night Live

U2 will be the musical guest on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live on September 26, according to cast member Bill Hader. Tickets to the taping of the show are available only by lottery (if requested in August) or by stand-by. Neither method provides guaranteed tickets. So, if you want to see the taping, contact your friend’s cousin whose boyfriend’s pizza man is friends with an NBC page to ask for ticket help or be prepared to hit the concrete on the stand-by line very early on the day of the taping.
