U2 eXPERIENCE Live in Berlin.

U2 eXPERIENCE Live in Berlin.

 

In 2018 the band took 'Songs of Experience' on the road across North America and Europe.

It was a tour that was widely praised but in the midst of the growing refugee crisis and the rise of extremist politics in Europe, the final night in particular, at Berlin's Mercedez-Benz Arena last November, was lauded as a show for this moment in time.

As Bono's devilish alter-ego Macphisto, puts it: "Remember, Berlin, whenever you see a journalist being crushed, or children being separated from their parents, whenever the lost or the lonely are washed up on borders that are closed... you will find me.'

With a new year beginning, the band have curated a special 75 minute edition of the two hour long performance, which will air as a concert special on broadcast networks as 2020 arrives.  At the end of a tumultous and divisive year in many countries, the word from early screenings is that this is a show to bring people together.  And in the UK, for the first time ever for a concert film, Sky Arts and Sky One will air the show at the same time, a double-channel take over.  

As well as 'New Year's Day', 'City of Blinding Lights', 'Pride (In The Name of Love)' and 'One', the show features a series of stand out tracks featured from Songs of Experience including You're The Best Thing About Me.' , 'Summer of Love', 'Get Out Of Your Own Way',  'Love Is Bigger Than Anything In It's Way' and '(13) There Is A Light'...

Here's a list of the countries, dates and timings that we have so far.

UPDATE :  US viewers can catch the show on DirecTV just after midnight on New Year's Day. (Check listings for details.)

If you hear of other broadcasts in other territories, please add them in the comments below. 

By the way, while this is the 75 minute cut, early in 2020 we'll have news on the release of the entire show... watch this space.

What a night!
As a longtime fan, who fell in love with U2 at 13 and now is 44, I couldn't miss this show for anything in the world, especially after coming to Berlin on september the 1st and going out of the Mercedes Benz Arena in tears due to the sudden interruption. For me coming back from Milan for the second time in two months was a sort of act of love and gratitude. I remember I met the lady from Berlin- who was sitting next to me on september the 1st- and that we hugged each other as old friends, and I'll never forget the deep excitement of the people supporting the band from the very beginning to the end of the show while cameras of different types were flying over our head. And I'll never forget Dirty Day. Obviously I hope the show is broadcast on TV in Italy as well, however I'm very proud that my 10- years- old- son was with me and my husband Roberto that night: now he knows what a joyful experience is being part of the U2 family. We miss you, guys!

Beautiful New Year´s Eve
Due to work I wasn´t able to attend this special concert in Berlin. On New Year´s Eve I was happy about the opportunity to watch it on Austria´s 3sat. This show really moved me, with the band delivering a lot of energy. Especially "Acrobat" including the MacPhisto speech was very intensive. Hope to get this on DVD soon. Happy New Year!
pauwis93
so happy!
I also was there :) So glad to see me jumping, dancing and having fun! For sure I'll buy the DVD. I also was there 1.09 and I came back. That was a dream to hear so many songs from Achtung Baby in Berlin. But this live video is more than my dreams! Thanks a lot! :) You're the best band in the world, not only in the north side of Dublin ;)

I have asked finnish broadcasting company Yle to present this program, but haven't got answer yet. Hope that in near future they will broadcast it.
Mari4
Finland, please
We didn´t get the show to Scandinavia at all, so can we have the live in Berlin here in Finland. Many finnish fans were in Berlin, so did we...Berlin is very close to fly from Finland, only near two hours... Just so close almost that we flight from Manchester to Dublin many times before Finnair started straight flights from Helsinki to Dublin :)

Please, please for America!
Please, please, show it in the US! This country has been forced to endure Trump for the last three years.....it could use some uplifting. Maybe I’m just talking about me. But really, baby baby baby, light my way.....

Thank you!
Thank you so much for this information. I have been to the concert in Berlin with my daughter on the 13.11.2018. That was the first time I have been to your concert and that's why I was there. It was a wonderful night and I remember that we were sitting behind the band. When the concert finished, I could not believe I was there - it was unreal! We come from Serbia and we are so glad to be watching this on HBO! Good luck!
