Some of the most critical points on U2's journeys have been in Southern California.
The Joshua Tree is the best-known example of U2’s artistic immersion in the Golden State, but the band began drawing inspiration from California’s landscape as early as 1981 during their first arrival in the U.S. for the Boy tour.

From deserts to beaches to urban streets, Southern California features dozens of sites that are both sacred and significant to U2 history. For the first time, these sites are documented and categorized in a single resource to inform and support the Southern California pilgrimages of U2 fans. I Go There With You provides the information U2 fans need before embarking on such a quest, whether individually or in groups. Each site has a story, and this book tells those stories—along with must-have details for trips that require extra planning and foresight.

Equal parts travel book for the U2 fan visiting Southern California and an exhaustive historical account of U2’s four decade love affair with the region, this thoroughly researched and insightfully written book is a treasure trove for both the U2 obsessive and the casually curious.
