Trending Now

U2 debuted three new songs at their comeback gig in Turin on Friday night (August 6) – performing for the first time since Bono injured his back in May.

Among the new tracks was a song called ‘Glastonbury’. Before Bono‘s injury, U2 had been due to headline the Somerset festival. They were replaced by Gorillaz, although festival organiser Michael Eavis has confirmed that he has asked the Irish band to headline next year’s event.

Other new songs aired by U2 at the Stadio Olimpico venue included acoustic ballad ‘North Star’ and a live intro called ‘Return Of The Stingray Guitar’.

Older songs included ‘Miss Sarajevo’, originally released by the band’s alter-ego act Passengers, and 1995 single ‘Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me’ which they have not performed live since 1998.

As well as their Glastonbury appearance, U2 postponed their entire North American tour due to the injury.

The band are now set to play Frankfurt‘s Commerzbank Arena on Tuesday (August 10).
