13 January, 2017 My first U2 concert
An amazing show. Every second was amazing and the band seemed to be on top form, a very surreal yet brilliant experience!

U2 never fail. The opening night in London was just another example of why they are the best live act in the world. Hungrier, angrier and more alive than I've seen them for many years - they make other bands look so ordinary. The stage show was awesome, the songs and the band sounded amazing and my wife and I loved ever minute of it....RED ZONE tickets were worth every penny. Not to mention we finished the night singing One, shoulder to shoulder with Matt Damon!! A night to remember for sure...thanks U2.

30 October, 2015 U2 for the price of ONE
First night in London and I dont think anyone went home disappointed.
Just as good live now as they were in '78', playing 3rd Support at Manchester Poly.

Wow an amazing concert again, after the 360 tour in the Red Zone was not sure if this could be as good but they get better and better, thank you Bono, Larry, The Edge and Adam. Loved you since 1982 and still going strong until next time. It was a beautiful day.

Fifth time I have seen them and I think this may be the best yet, they seem to be really enjoying themselves. Track list was almost perfect, sound was also spot on.

26 October, 2015 Incredible
I've never cried at a gig before. That is, until the band played With Or Without You. Last night was the first time I've seen U2...Best. Gig. Ever. Looking forward to doing it all again on night 6!

26 October, 2015 Sunday O2 arena
Another simply epic U2 night never EVER been disappointed, ever even on the opening night in Barcelona some 6 years ago on the 360 tour when Bono stopped the band and they started a number again. STILL the greatest band in the world, many have tried but no one comes even close. Our seats were pure bliss first row in the middle of the lower tear at the end of the runway. Where Bono entered the arena, the best seat I have ever had, one of those times when being in the fan club, and getting pre sales counts! I only hope we don't have to wait another 6 years before they are back again! Thank you Bono, Larry, Adam and Mr The Edge!

26 October, 2015 Fantastic Concert
It was a great night, two regrets I have about the concert was I wished that I had taken my 5yrs old son to experience his first concert (He was on half term so could of taken him) and Big Regret Number Two: I had a great seat but at the back of the stage and Bono never ventured round the back (I took loads of Pictures and bit of Vid which I have showed my son to educate him in what is amazing heart & soul inspirational music). Adam thank you for managing to come round the back of the stage and I have loads of great pics and good memories to show my little boy. Thank you for the great concert

I took my 13 year old daughter to her first U2 concert (a bit different to One Direction!!) and she loved it. Particularly poignant night for us when they played Iris. I lost my Mum (also called Iris like Bono's) about 2 weeks after the album came out and was wondering what her reaction was going to be when U2 played it but it was nice and very touching and couldn't help thinking of her as the song was being played. Can't wait for Thursday night when I go for round 2.

What a journey of lyrical memories and raw emotion. A technical and musical masterpiece. Innocence replaced by wisdom, experience with expertise. See you for more at O2 closing show.

26 October, 2015 Amazing Show
Wow last night at the O2 was amazing, the attention to detail and the huge scale of this show was epic, so carefully planned and so perfect. My GA ticket made me feel like part of the show, thank you U2 and all the production team and everyone involved, last night was truly magical.

26 October, 2015 U2 25/10/15
My dad has been a fan since the 'BOY' album was first realised and thankfully I've taken after his love for U2.
Myself and my dad came to the 360 tour back in 2009, I was 14, my first proper gig! We were sat at the top of Wembely Stadium, I was blown away by the whole experience but wished we had gone standing.....so when I heard that you were touring again I couldn't wait to buy tickets...and they were standing!!
We were stood on the North side right up at the front of the isle where we had the four of you standing right in front of us giving the best performance.
I loved the set layout, you always love to include all of the audience, nobody is left out, the screen that came down with the four of you performing inside was wicked!! Never seen anything like it before so cool!!
Amazing night, will defiantly be going to the next tour!
See you soon :)

Absolutely agree with some of the comments here.
40 is a great track to finish with and should end all U2 gigs.
