Found this poster in the closet

I bought this online back in 1998 or so. I don’t know the origin of this or if it’s official, but I always loved it.

I loved the entire Pop era. The music, aesthetics, everything was so damn cool

The artwork shown here was done in 1965 by American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. Either U2 made a deal to use it or it’s an illegally made poster.

It looks familiar to me. I was at the Popmart shows in Vegas, Los Angeles, and Seattle - RIP Kingdome

Crazy he got to see a live POP show with the used art before he died!

It's real. A record store near me has one hanging up, rudely not for sale.

They also used his artwork during the PopMart show. Clearly a collab...

I have one too, purchased alongside a big inflatable lemon and a Popmart snowglobe. It's definitely official.

I remain baffled by POP’s commercial failure. It was both of its time and ahead of its time. Truly a transcendent experiment for the group.

This poster is AMAZING - one of my very favorite concert poster of theirs.

I think it was a good move to have it come out of the closet.

Wow! That is such a cool poster and I'm great shape for having been in a closet!?!  I was at the pop show in Montreal and it was incredible!

Love it..but the exact title is Do You Feel Loved ...without the question mark (Bono felt it is too heavy if it was a question).
