U2 surprised commuters in New York City on Monday night (May 4) with an impromptu performance on the subway.

The band turned up on the S train platform at Grand Central Station and proceeded to play a selection of their greatest hits, including Beautiful Day and Angel of Harlem, while fans gathered and took photos.

The band have also been filming with talk show host Jimmy Fallon in preparation for their appearance on The Tonight Show on Friday (May 8).
