Cuando estás en tu casa merendando y entra Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr y Adam Clayton a dar un mini concierto en tu balcón.. así fue #U2 en Ciudad de México #StreeOfDreams

Dansçıların birbirleri ile değil ritimle senkron olmaları apayrı bir seviye. Görsellik şahane.

U2 wraps up their Las Vegas Sphere residency with their 40th show since opening the $2 billion venue last September. The residency was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $230 million from 40 shows (averaging ~$5.75 million per show), setting records for the highest-grossing Las Vegas residency of all time at that point.

U2 stunned their fans on Wednesday afternoon by dropping the six-song EP 'Days of Ash.' They also gave fans an update on their long-awaited follow-up LP to 2017’s 'Songs of Innocence.'

Bono’s lifelong fascination with the number 40 runs deep — rooted in the Bible and woven into many layers of U2’s story. On the final night of their Sphere residency in 2024, Bono revealed many connections while introducing their final song “40.”

The song “40” draws directly from Psalm 40 — with Bono recalling how, with “40 minutes on the War album left to record,” he “opened up the sacred text of the Psalm of David, and just kind of read it out, that was the lyric.”

Then there’s the wilderness symbolism drawn upon in “Vertigo”: Jesus fasting and facing temptation for 40 days and 40 nights (Matthew 4), mirroring Moses’ 40 days and nights on Mount Sinai, fasting while receiving the Ten Commandments from God (Exodus 34:28) — times of trial, divine encounter, and transformation.

In Las Vegas, Bono tied it all together: U2 played exactly 40 concerts at the Sphere in the desert, with the final night feeling like “40 days and 40 nights in the desert.”

And it doesn’t stop there — Bono’s 2022 autobiography, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story, is structured as 40 chapters, each named after a U2 song. His life, told through 40 songs — a poetic full circle.

[Bono’s Bible @BonosBible]

U2 began playing “Peace on Earth” as an intro to “Walk On” during the third leg of their Elevation Tour in 2001 (North America, post-9/11 shows).

“Peace of Earth” directly calls to “Jesus” and contains allusions to the “Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6) and “Glory to God in the highest, and on EARTH PEACE, good will toward men (Luke 2:14 KJV) — as announced by the angels to the shepherds on the night of Jesus’ birth.

You may hear it every Christmas time. But what’s it worth?
