Over 45,000 thousand fans were crying, dancing and belting the U2 hits that moved generations at the much-anticipated Joshua Tree Tour 2019 made possible by Smart. The iconic Irish rock band performed their best hits like “Beautiful Day”, “With or Without You”, “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, and “Where the Streets Have No Name”.

This was the first concert of U2 in Manila and it was held at the biggest indoor arena in the world, the Philippine Arena.
