U2 made a surprise appearance onstage in London tonight (May 28).

The band took to the stage at the O2 Academy Shepherds Bush, joining African artist Baaba Maal just after he played his set as part of the Island Life gigs which are taking place at the venue this week to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the acts’ label Island Records.

Having played a full set with his band, Maal returned to the stage kicking off his version of Irish band’s ‘One’ before the full U2 line-up joined in acoustically.

Praising Maal‘s “nobility”, Bono declared he was “the spark of Africa”, before the pair slipped into a short version of Bob Marley‘s ‘Feel Alright’ – another Island Records artist.

The U2 frontman then declared “We’ve got one more in us”, before his band launched into ‘Vertigo’, thanking their former record label at the songs climax.

Yusuf Islam, aka Cat Stevens, is now set to headline the gig tonight.

Irish rockers U2 have released the video for their second single, “Magnificent”, off of their successful new album “No Line on the Horizon”.

Unlike the video for the first single “Get on Your Boots”, which had images of outer space and sexy girls in military uniforms, “Magnificent” takes a softer approach.

Directed by Alex Courtez (who also directed “Boots”), the band is seen walking through the streets of Fes, Morocco with the desert sun beating down on them. They walk with the locals as white sheets drape the surrounding buildings. Also, they are seen playing in a Moroccan house. Their guitars and amps are propped against the mosaic walls.

As per their official website, U2.com, “Magnificent” will be remixed an astounding four times. Versions of the song by Soha, Adam K, Redanka, Peter Tong, and Fred Falke are available for downloading.

U2 are no strangers to the mythical city of Fes. They recorded parts of their new album there and on the song “Fez: Being Born”, the Moroccan vibe is evident.

Let’s hope they bring a little bit of Morocco with them on their upcoming tour! But for now, satisfy your U2 craving with their “Magnificent” video.
