Filmgoers in Cannes, France, were treated to a two-song performance by U2 at the Cannes Film Festival tonight. The band attended the festival to premiere their new 3-D concert film “U2 3D.”

U2 delighted the crowd with performances of “Vertigo” and “Where the Streets Have No Name” on the red carpet of the festival hall before attending the late-night screening of their film with director Catherine Owens.

  1. I say this with the utmost love for Bono: between the large, round glasses circa 1992, the fly-catching mouth, and the Frankenstein boots that are getting progressively thicker soled, B’s becoming a caricature of himself. As much as I tire of them, bring back the tried ‘n’ true wrap-arounds and contact the Prada Shoe Division STAT. Ending materialistic commentary now.

  11. Bono looks really dorky and old at this event. Those clothes are horrible – especially the shoes.

  13. I love Bono, but sometimes he plays up the rockstar act a little too much. Ah well, no need for us to comment, I’m sure there are three good mates of his already giving him shit about it. 😉

    If Bono were a little more to the left, it’d look like Larry’s giving him a wedgie. 😉
