Watch as U2 delights subway commuters with music from new album, ‘Songs of Experience’

To promote their new album, “Songs of Experience,” Bono and The Edge played an impromptu set for subway commuters in Berlin earlier this week.

They played near the U2 line of the U-Bahn for about 15 minutes, Entertainment.ie reported.

Many joked that the band was busking in Berlin. Busking means to play music or perform in some way for donations in the street or on subways.

Near U2 rested an open guitar case and a sign taped to it: “PLEASE HELP TIPS!”

Their set included “One” and their new song “Get Our of Your Own Way.”

A local radio station had held a competition to give away about 120 tickets, CBS reported. Those with a ticket got to ride with Bono and The Edge to a stop, where they all disembarked onto a platform to listen and take photos.

Judging from the social media reaction of those who attended, the mini concert was a success.
