Sunday to perform an acoustic concert in one of the city’s subway stations-turned-bomb shelters.
“The people in Ukraine are not just fighting for your own freedom, you are fighting for all of us who love freedom,” Bono told the audience, which included soldiers. “We pray that you will enjoy some of that peace soon.”, the set included performances of U2 hits like “With or Without You,” “Desire,” “Angel of Harlem,” “Vertigo” and a rendition of Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me” that replaced the titular “Me” with “Ukraine.
…. and that whole performance ended up on everyone’s iTunes in less than 24 hours later.
marthamaccallum Yep. Good friends. Know them from Day One.
timothysweeney Who cares?
That's it, the war's over. Bono's insufferable performance has driven everyone out!
You don’t need full AVL production in a subway in a war zone. This is gross
Haven’t those poor people suffered enough?!
I thought there was a war going on , a concert really something ain’t right here !
Drop It Down ⚡ Stir It Up Falcon Fly 🍀 Freedom Flow
More like Bonehead and Over The Edge.
Well it shows once again where the Western celebrities support lies, & its not with people of colour around the world that have been victims of western aggression resulting in the deaths of millions, but that's simply because 'They don't look like us'
Difference between Bono and God? GOD doesn't walk around thinking he's BONO....
Those poor bastards. I am so sorry for the people of Ukraine. My God this is heart breaking. Bono unplugged. Ugh. The Hurrur
Everything U2 stands for smells of a soulless corporate machine. Their music is somehow worse
Very cool!
That will fix it...
So this is what happens when it’s WHITE PEOPLE on the end of the BOMBS…. There was me thinking all WAR was bad… 🤦🏽♂️…
Haven’t the people of Ukraine suffered enough? What’s next? Gonna auto download a U2 album on their phones?
When’s the Gaza trip?
If there ever was a more pompous move, it doesn’t trump this one. How can anyone with half a brain support this bogus bs proxy war, do some research, Ukraine and the West ain’t the good guys.
A couple of has beens
Haven’t the poor people of Ukraine suffered enough
Nazi's getting some serious love
Lol as if it wasn’t obvious enough this was a fake conflict to line the pockets of defense contractors and politicians
Funny how no one here's of Bono these days but as soon as Sinn Fein win a majority in Ireland he's back in the spotlight.
No surprise there.
Will he be heading to Gaza after his Kiev gig?
Open your eyes people.
Fucking weird.
Omg what in the hell. Makes no sense
Who stole Bongo’s Trousers? And his ten gallon Stetson hat He can’t save the fooking planet Improperly dressed like that! John Cooper Clarke
🤣are people still buying this bullshit war story!!!
Haven't they suffered enough?
The “war” must be really dangerous. LOL. What a joke.
What kind of war is this?
WTF
Comedians...
George Formby gigged for de Gaulle so good on Bonio for following suit
Building in Ukraine after Bono performs
Embarrassing. How dangerous is it when you can constantly, safely shuffle dignitaries, heads of state, first spouses and celebrities in and out with ease. Something is off with the whole situation.
PR campaign at it best... since idiots buy it, why not...?
Did they sing Wag the Dog?
I guess it’s a makeshift USO tour ala Bob Hope. Only not for the troops, a few folks in a tunnel. While business goes on at street level. Sure is a weird ass war.
How tf are they able to play a concert during a war?
Just stay off my iPhone
FakeWar
that will help.
Where’s Bob Hope and Marilyn Monroe when you need ‘em.
🤨
Must be one hell of a war zone.
New vacation retreat
🤣🎪🤡🤣🤡
marthamaccallum WTF! Shit gets more ridiculous every day!
marthamaccallum How many guitars were brought in to help the resistance?
Man imagine being in a war an you gotta listen to shit ass u2
davidcoverdale this is what was referring to. Does that make any sense to you?
Man wef must be partying down there.
Mood lighting, camera and sound booms, musical equipment (and all the staff to offload and use it); seems quite the...production in a 'warzone.' Why not just show up with 2 guitars IYKYK breadandcircuses
Haven't the Ukrainians suffered enough already
Shit like this is why people don’t take what’s going on seriously.
This is not a serious war
Haven't the Ukrainian people been through enough?
Hahaha there is a supposedly a war going and these people are having concerts? WTF is going on?
Fakest war ever. Literally just an excuse for biden to launder money thru the Ukraine.
Real question. What band replaces U2 as the crisis response band when Bono and friends retire?
U2 are an embarrassment to my people. Ireland’s shame.
As if the people of Kyiv haven’t suffered enough already
It’s an American proxy war
Well if that doesn't make the Russians run back to Moscow with their hands over their ears, nothing will. Inflicting Bono on anyone is a war crime.
War is Hell 💥
sham war. to get free aid that is partially laundered back to the financiers
People chat a lot of shit about Bono but at least he tries to do what he can
Like if they havn't suffered enough already...
Ummm....ok, come on President Z, lets not go down this optic right now..
Trudeau and Bono in the same week? Flashing lights!
Please Bono do us a favor never call yourself a Christian because YOU ARE NOT one!
The new Vera Lynn. This will have the Russians retreating in horror, hands over their ears.
Makes perfect sense.
Haven’t they suffered enough
So the situation is Ukraine is apparently so dire that their President invited a rock band to perform a personal gig for him?
Christ. haven't they suffered enough?
Quite unnecessary. Inappropriate. Bizarre. Oh yes and.. Bono’s a twat.
U2 supporting WAR, instead of Peace ☮️ 😞🙈
I’d rather take a crap in my hands and clap then listen to these sanctimonious sphincters.
They’ve been through enough. Now they have to listen to U2?
Now even in the bomb shelter they aren't safe
So stupid lol. Rolling stone used to be something.
U2 😂😂😂😂 Bono 😂😂😂😂
' Bono also stood up for Sarajevo, when it was under siege by Bosnian Serbs.
Taking the piss now
How freaking ridiculous.
Kingofporty Yeah, that's sure to fix the situation.
Good god 😂🙄
Bono is a Pox
C r i n g e
Are people still actually buying all this?
Haven’t the Ukrainians suffered enough?
You would think things are bad enough for the poor Ukrainians 😕
Just another puppet/marionette 👍
Biggest money laundering scam for many years. Largest transfer of wealth to Elites under the disguise of war. Politicians, actors and rock stars dropping in to pay a visit in a war zone? LOL. Wake up people. WEF shills all greasing their palms with $$$.
Why do people still believe the narrative being pushed about this war.
Haven’t those poor people suffered enough…
Hotel California'd sound great in a tunnel
happy together in wag the dog style
Are U2 wearing face nappies at this event?
This is a commercial war...🤣
That's the definitely proof of circus. The society of the circus. Everything is fake, poor ukranians exploited by these monkeys. Fuck Zelensky
There is nothing better than defeating war with art.
Must be a pretty scary war
Aren't they in enough distress at the moment, let alone set U2 on them, seriously though this is bonkers.... Why?
The new Vera Lynn
Publicity stunt.
LOL. Everything is so fake and orchestrated there.
Is there anything you don’t make a mockery of?
Wow! Priorities eh
It makes sense now…
Such a bad war celebrities are jetting in to play a set and the jetting out, and world leaders are queuing up to take a tour 🤔
🤢🤢🤢 he has always been a conjuncturist and no one! No one of those media .. guys would never take a single step in a military zone.
Na
What a war. British PM can openly go to a war zone and risk a possible nuclear world war. US Speaker can do the same thing. Now the crappiest band can also go there. Some 'war'. Just like the fake plandemic.
Eh? This is getting very weird
An elite group of psychopaths control the world and this is all theatre 🎭
You could literally save a baby from a burning building and there will be always someone that thinks your a cunt. I hope the people there enjoyed the show and gave them some tome to forget about the hell they've had
GOD IS WATCHING!
Country is been blown to pieces and still be slapped by Russia….. but sure let’s get U2 over here and have a gig!
wtf, like that helps?
Haven't Ukrainians suffered enough?
Disgusting.
Circus show with Nazis
WTH 🤦🏻♀️
Gets worse and worse for the poor people of Ukraine Putin will win
So U2 can get to him but the Russian black ops can't. Interesting. Looks like more propaganda.
LOL
😄😁😆🤣🤣🤣😂😂😅😆
YourAnonRiots Haven't those people suffered enough ?
Why?
Meanwhile..there's a WAR!! Let me ask this question. Where TF were these jacka***** when the middle east was being bombed. Answer: not in the middle east because there was a war in the middle east and ppl don't have concerts in the middle of the war. Oh this says it all. 🙄
This is so weird. We’re truly living in the twilight zone… No wait, this is OUR reality.
Why is it always U2? Why couldn’t we get scorpions
sheep will sheep
This means they smell moneyyyyyyy!!
For being in such a huge war zone and demanding so much money from other countries they sure do have a lot of people visiting this war zone recently. Also, he’s got time to do a full interview and photo shoot for Time magazine. Very interesting I might have to say
This dude ZelenskyyUa has made a spectacle of war , he is inviting rich and famous and having dinners with them while his country is under siege.
😂😂😂
I m sure goods would have been better. Instead, let us send them love.
🙄
I thought I heard that 100,000s of Ukrainians are displaced, homeless, seeking shelter, etc. But the President and Bono are having a jam session? Stuff doesn’t add up.
🥱
Come on
What the hell is going on here?
👍🏼💯❤️U2 👍🏼💯💙💛
Haven't they suffered enough?
Awesome
Kyiv is safe, all the weaponry and cash the US/NATO have furnished to UKR went into protecting Zelenskyy's underground palace and the few blocks surrounding it. I think Bono should've gone to Mariupol 😆
some of yall are unfamiliar with U2's history and it shows. does every cynic in the world live on twitter? good Lord yall are miserable.
YA KIDDING!
Are you sure it wasn't Putin who invited them, just to really stick the knife in?
Thank you U2 for bringing happiness to Ukraine and shedding light on this horrific monstrous Russian situation. Appreciate you!
💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
Modern warfare is so strange
For those whose heads are NOT full of sh*t (no, seriously). Bono U2 Ukraine
God *amn you Bono.
mr. putin, please fire the missiles.
That time Russia went to war with a 2nd rate army against a country with a first rate communicator. When the invader has the edge in munitions the creative defender finds other weapons and publicity is a weapon in the modern world.
Hahaha
Get Bob Geldof flown in and then you can really get things resolved 😅👍🏼
The Russians sent them to demoralise the Ukrainians
AWESOME !!!! THEY SHOWED UP WITH A WAR GOING ON !!!! RESPECT....
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🕊🫶🏼
Nazis with nazis
Wahrhaftig In a subway station / bomb shelter? Send em to the front line to push back the enemy.
Love love love this 💕
Ffs 🤦♂️
This is a war crime.
Have they not suffered enough then have to listen to bono like that's gonna make it all ok
Feel a wee bit sick watching this given that there are innocent people trying to flee a war-torn country. That’s not right.
Soooooo is there a war going on or not?
Poor people
Hope they did their Putin impersonation
Can't stand U2 Bono
Quite happy for putin to nuke kievs underground network
LouAngeloni
South Park was right about Bono: 💩
'how can i make this more about ... me?'
I just found out no one really likes U2 and the only reason people liked them to begin with is because they thought everybody else liked them
Come on man, they poor people have suffered enough.
Typical neolibs supporting war instead of protesting for peace. Bono never disappoints.
Bono sold his soul to become a WOKE clown
😂😂😂 they played a selection of favourites “Vlad still hasn’t found what he’s looking for” “Where the streets have no streets” and a favourite of the Azov Battalion “Achtung baby”
So how much did it cost to smuggle them into Ukraine?
Slick!
tiktok war w celebs taking selfies bono ukraine
Wouldn't it be gas if a bomb dropped on bono?
Well done, Bono. Legendary performance in Kyiv!
Just what they need! David and Paul singing some songs…..
elijahruby3 Yeah, they have been Feds for decades.
Wow!!!!
You'd think the people of Ukraine had suffered enough!
Surprised it took them so long
No good deed goes unpunished in the comments sections.
⛔wef who
Why would a concert be held in the middle of a war?
I think it helps morale and goves people hope that the world cares! I think its amazing that they risked their lives to go there! Remember, these people are cut off from the outside world!
For fvck sake.......
Haven’t they suffered enough?
The least Bono could have done was to use the proper pronunciation of Kyiv instead of using the Russian pronunciation. I turned out of the video the moment he did. Can't help but wonder if there was some The Ukraine moment I missed out on.
This is beautiful! 🇺🇦💙
Haven’t the Ukrainians suffered enough?
Will they be flying to Gaza and Yeman to complete their tour?
Sloppy zionists
Ok... What was the criteria to attend? I assume that U2 didn't ask for $. Wondering how many oligarchs and their kids were there...
Seems like a real war zone over there…
Well Ukraine does have plenty of money to pay for a private concert!
we must celebrate the musicians who do not fear the regime of Putin and take risks to support Ukraine
OddZombie
Say what you want about Bono or U2, it says a lot about their music that they can adapt it to massive stadiums and tiny, intimate spaces. Plus, they literally went to a warzone for this. Respect.
Have to love Twitter 🤷♂️ Band: Does something decent (more than most responding here) Twitter: Shits all over it
These guys are great!!!
I love them so!! U2 Bono ❤️😘
In the middle of a war zone..........
This war is getting bad.
OMG Twitter don't ever do that again!! Bono will always be the heart of me & it scared the crap out of me when I saw his name trend!! Ugh!! U2 always the kind men they are!
I’d be surprised but having been a fan and following them for the past almost 30 years, it doesn’t. They truly buy into the idea that music can change lives. Remarkable.
No fan of U2 or Bono but this is pretty cool, good on them.
realryanpro Nanana Corona Party mitten im schlimmsten Krieg ? Komm Westen schick noch mehr Milliarden.... der Komiker Hat noch nicht genug auf seinem Konto
Kyiv seem a circus at this point
mradamscott ScottAukerman
Could've held it outside , Kiev centre hasn't been bombed afaik .
'i dont need a ride, i need ammunition.. oh and pop stars and lots and lots of money!' 😂😅
Aren't the suffering enough...?
Haven’t these unfortunate people suffered enough.
Don’t forget to sing Imagine. It worked last time
hey bone head nono bono how bout that blunder you had in Africa?
Putin: Get KidRock on the phone.
its all emotional rhetoric 🤭 just like 'war on terror'
😂🤡
Wow 🙏🏼💛🙏🏼
This phony war
So... if they can hold a concert, do they really need our 48 billion we sent them? Lots of real issues here in America, and lots of Americans that could use that money.
Bono is such a sphincter
Legends
POWER poem watch
Why inflict more suffering on these poor people?
🇺🇸😂🇺🇦💩🇬🇧
They can't get refugees safely out but they can get performers and politicians in and out?
Did Bono read the poem he wrote for Zelensky 🤮🤢
If Russia controls the airspace, how are these people getting in. Seems to me they would be a high value target
DanHollaway AmericanPartyPC AmericanPardon Best Sim World Ever!
Wtf
I think he wanted the spy plane …
Ah, so Ukraine️ is going with the psychological warfare strategy. Brilliant move!
Excuse me; Double Gold metal for Bono & the Edge! Love them back for showing love to Ukraine️. Bless you all. 🎼💋✌️🙏😎
OMG BEAUTIFUL!
hasn’t ukraine been through enough
Sure everyone there needed that. Gold medal for U2!
concert during a war 😂😂
They heard he gives good powder. But out the good stuff!
Keep that war going ☹️
Russian bots very upset when support for and solidarity with Ukraine occur. Just read the tweets here and then check the dates these trolls joined Twitter…..
Time to cash in those blackmail cards again.
Crafty plan, I take it they are going to broadcast the billionaire Bono asking / demanding everyone to donate to ...... ( fill in any cause ) then play it to the Russian troops - that should get them retreating 👍
I'm waiting for Bono to be like Sean Penn and announce he plans to volunteer for the Ukraine military and fight Russian invaders. Go Boy!
Jesus aren’t they suffering enough?
