Video: U2 joined on stage in New York by Chilean woman wearing Dublin jersey

The Dubs are going global

The Dubs are going global.

U2 kicked off their eight night residency in Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday. As is his wont, Bono took a fan on stage to join the band for some filming and singing.

She’s a lady called Veronica and she is wearing a Dublin GAA jersey, except she’s from Chile.

We knew the Dubs were big, but we hadn’t realised that they could count Chile as being a hotbed of support.

Or maybe Bono misheard an Irish woman saying she’s chilly. I’ll leave that there.
