ZooTV Live in Dublin 1993 is a live EP by the Irish rock band U2. The EP features five live tracks from the band's Zoo TV Tour and was released at the end of August 2024.[1] Four of five songs on this release is from one of if not the most popular album of the band's, Achtung Baby (1991) and the other one was taken from Zooropa (1993). This release was U2's first EP since '’Europe EP (2019).

This EP was announced in late July of 2024.[2] The EP will be released on yellow Twelve-inch single, CD single, and also digital audio. The digital audio version has Dolby Atmos mix of the [EP]. The Twelve-inch single and CD single will be released worldwide by Universal Music Group.[3] In Japan there was also a release on SHM-CD which will contain a bonus track, “The Fly” taken from the same shows.

The first song ‘‘Mysterious Ways’’ was released as a standalone single on some digital services.

The sleeve and the CD both list that the tracks were recorded on August 28, 1993. However not all of the tracks on this EP are from that show. The August 27 show was recorded as well, and this will be the first time any material has been made available from that night, the first release from the EP, “Mysterious Ways” is taken from that first show in Dublin, as are “Zoo Station”, “Stay (Faraway, So Close!)” and “Love is Blindness”. The only show on the 28th is Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World.

The cover of the EP is a design that was used for posters during the 1993 dates of the Zoo TV tour and it was also used on T-shirts, both in 1993, and more recently the design was used on T-Shirts at Sphere. The photo which was taken by Anton Corbijn, was also used as the cover for the band’s 1994 calendar.
