U2 debuted three new songs at their comeback gig in Turin on Friday night (August 6) โ€“ performing for the first time since Bono injured his back in May.

Among the new tracks was a song called โ€˜Glastonburyโ€™. Before Bonoโ€˜s injury, U2 had been due to headline the Somerset festival. They were replaced by Gorillaz, although festival organiser Michael Eavis has confirmed that he has asked the Irish band to headline next yearโ€™s event.

Other new songs aired by U2 at the Stadio Olimpico venue included acoustic ballad โ€˜North Starโ€™ and a live intro called โ€˜Return Of The Stingray Guitarโ€™.

Older songs included โ€˜Miss Sarajevoโ€™, originally released by the bandโ€™s alter-ego act Passengers, and 1995 single โ€˜Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Meโ€™ which they have not performed live since 1998.

As well as their Glastonbury appearance, U2 postponed their entire North American tour due to the injury.
