Irish rock band U2 paid tribute to women icons of the country during their maiden performance here, putting the spotlight on Union minister Smriti Irani, author Arundhati Roy and journalist Gauri Lankesh among others.
The Irish rockers closed 'The Joshua Tree Tour 2019' their final show of the tour after Seoul, Auckland, Brisbane and Melbourne in honour of their 1987 album at the DY Patil Stadium on Sunday.
Frontman Bono, guitarist The Edge, drummer Larry Mullen and bassist Adam Clayton opened the concert with their classic "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and ended with a visual montage of women icons across the world, including India.
The night also saw performance by academy award winner composer A R Rahman.
Rahman, along with his children, joined U2 to sing for the first time their new song, "Ahimsa", which Bono described as "India's greatest gift to the world."
