BRIT Awards 2006

A diferencia de lo sucedido hace una semana en la entrega de los Grammy Awards, esta noche U2 no pudo llevarse ningún galardón en la entrega de los BRIT Awards 2006, celebrada en Earl's Court de la ciudad de Londres.

U2 se encontraba nominado en las siguientes categorías:

· GRUPO INTERNACIONAL
Arcade Fire
Black Eyed Peas
Green Day
U2
White Stripes

· ÁLBUM INTERNACIONAL
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Green Day - American Idiot
Kanye West - Late Registration
Madonna - Confessions On A Dancefloor
U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
