However, Bristol's bus drivers go on strike on this day, leaving U2 with a small audience of approximately fifty people.

The intended support band, Fashion, also do not show. Two local bands replace Fashion as support - The Stingrays and The Electric Guitars.

Chris from The Stingrays remembers feeling decidedly underwhelmed by their performance:

“They'd been on the front cover of NME that week. They'd been spotted as the next big thing and they assumed there was gonna be a big crowd. And we were there as support and they were trying to get the show going and we didn't want to go on in front of ten people – I tried to delay matters...in fact although it got a bit better there wasn't that many people there that night...personally I wasn't that impressed. My feeling was, not many people in the crowd were either. You didn't think you were looking at a group that was gonna be the biggest group in the world within about a year.”

Chris from the Stingrays, interviewed by Edson Burton, 2009

"Controversial American rap group Public Enemy will play a rare British gig in Bristol next month.

The legendary group, fronted by outspoken rappers Chuck D and Flavor Flav, are appearing at the Trinity Community Centre on May 26.

Public Enemy are widely regarded as the most influential group on the genre, pioneering a hardcore rap sound which has been copied by numerous acts over the past 15 years.
Their Bristol gig is the first date of a short European tour and will be a warm-up for Winchester's Homelands festival.

Promoter Malcolm Haynes of Good Groove Promotions said tickets for Public Enemy's appearance in Bristol are expected to sell out quickly.

He said: This is a real scoop for us and it was simply a case of us being in the right place at the right time.

“They are only doing one gig in England apart from the Homelands festival, so we expect it to generate a lot of interest.

Public Enemy were formed in 1982 by Chuck D and their début album, Yo! Bum Rush The Show, was released by Def Jam Records in 1987.

The follow up, It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold us Back, pushed the cult group into the mainstream and coincided with Chuck D's notorious statement that rap was “The black CNN”.

Public Enemy went on to record classic rap albums like Welcome To The Terrordome and Apocalypse 91...The Enemy Strikes Black, recorded with thrash metal band Anthrax, and work with film director Spike Lee.

They continued to court controversy with lyrics which have been labelled anti-Semitic."
