The show will be the band’s first since frontman Bono underwent back surgery, inadvertently forcing them to cancel a number of US shows as well as their headline slot at Glastonbury.

As U2Tours.com reports, Bono and co have also been heard playing a number of other songs including ‘Get On Your Boots’, ‘Magnificent’ and ‘Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me’ during soundchecks. The latter song did not appear on any of the band’s setlists during the first part of the tour last year.
