Barriers For U2 Berlin Concert
Fans hoping to catch a glimpse of U2’s free concert celebrating 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall will have – in the words of one of the band’s biggest hits – to “scale these city walls,” after organisers threw up a massive barrier to block the view for those without tickets. The move has triggered outrage from Berliners, who see the irony in building walls around a concert dedicated to the moment that a massive surge of people forced their governments to knock the wall down.
