NORTH PARK — U2 has just announced a pair of upcoming shows at the United Center ... yawn.

Wanna impress us? Play a cemetery.

Empty Bottle has booked Bohemian National for Saturday's "Cold Moon" concert, a celebration of December's full moon.

Wrekmeister Harmonies is headlining the triple-bill, which also features Ryley Walker and Circuit des Yeux.

Though performances will take place in the cemetery's cathedral, not amidst the tombstones, the evening still promises to provide plenty of eerie entertainment.

According to Empty Bottle, Wrekmeister Harmonies (aka, J.R. Robinson) explores the "darkest corners of minimalistic synth, drone and ambient music," while Circuit des Yeux, fronted by vocalist Haley Fohr, delivers "murky, decaying soundscapes."

"Your hopes and dreams will be shattered and reassembled," Robinson intones in a promotional video.

Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. show are $12 if purchased in advance or $14 at the door, 5255 N. Pulaski Road.
