Remarks:
U2 was back in the United Kingdom for the first of two concerts in Manchester, and the first show in Manchester in over 13 years (since the Vertigo tour). With a setlist nearly identical to the last show in Milan, Bono also mentioned the band's first experience playing in the city back in 1980 right before performing "Zoo Station". Finally, Bono and the band dedicated "13 (There Is a Light)" to the victims of last year's terrorist bombing at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. Bono: "This is a prayer for the safety of your children."
