New Year's Day in Paris
When & Where
Final night of a great week in France, AccordHotels Arena, Paris, Wednesday, September 13th, 2018.
Set List
Before the final song of the night, Bono recited a verse from 'Streets Of Surrender', written for a friend, and dedicated to the time the band were here after The Bataclan in 2015 :
"Every man has got two cities he needs to be
The one he can touch and the one he can't see
The one where a stranger's a friend
Everyman has got one city of liberty
For me it's Paris…"
Here's the full setlist from the final night in Paris.

What Did Bono Say?
(as Macphisto) "It's not good evening… it's goodbye. But as i leave Paris, my melancholy is tempered by the knowledge that my people are arriving all over Europe… they go by many names, my people… In Sweden they call themselves 'Democrats; Sweden Democrats.' In France, they keep changing their names. In Italy they have too many names. In Poland they have names even I can't pronounce. So many names, my little cabbages… But they all have one face. And its' mine!'
