Bono and The Edge visited and performed ‘Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way’, ‘O Holy Night’, ‘O Night Divine’, and ‘Baby Please Come Home’ for the homeless. Imelda May, Damien Rice and Glen Hansard also joined in.

The Simon Community has hosted the annual event in Grafton Street since 2009. U2 also performed in 2015.
