They camed in Istanbul yesterday for their performance at concert, but that was on their way beacuse it the part of 360 Tour. Irish band U2 got really nice welcome from fans at airport in Istanbul.
After they took some pictures and doing some posing for their fans, they left the airport and went dirrectly to their hotel.
Concert in Istanbul was organized really nice by LiveNation that was in corporation with Istanbul Foundation and IKSV (Arts). They allso announced they are really pleased with their fans in Istanbul,and they had a really nice welcome at the airport. Bono said before that he want to walk trough in Istanbul the famouse Bosporus Bridge.
The concert stadium is placed much more in side the center of the city. Stage had really good surrounding on all sides, and its bigger that we tought so there was more capacity by 15 to 20 percent.
