TORONTO - U2 fans can tune into the band's concert on Sunday in Pasadena, Calif., free through YouTube at about 11:30 ET.

Fans in Canada and more than a dozen other countries will be able to watch the band's show at the Rose Bowl live, in what's being billed as the first full-length global concert on YouTube.

YouTube expects millions of users will flood the website for the concert but predicts it will be able to handle the traffic.

The band says it had previously planned to film the concert before teaming up with YouTube and the show will also be available for replay after Sunday.
