'Bono's restored energy was dramatic confirmation that U2's world tour, now set to run into next year, was only interrupted, not derailed.' Rolling Stone on the opening night in Turin.

It was like they'd never been away. Opening up with a brand new track, one of three in the set, U2 returned to the stage in Turin tonight with a blistering 24-song performance. 'It's very good to be back with you, 'said Bono. 'Bellissimo Torino...'

Just a few hours until the 2010 European Tour kicks off in Turin and the excitement is building in and around the Stadio Olimpico.

The wait is almost over and anticipation is building in Turin. Tomorrow night the tour kicks off and outside the stadium, some people are hoping to have a word.

On the drums... Larry Mullen Jr.

The Edge is in the house.

Deep in the darkness of a rock'n'roll stage, hidden among flight cases, something strange this way comes. (Five days until opening night...)
