U2 enlisted the help of Toronto's favourite U2 cover band, Acrobat, last night for a collaborative rendition of 'Desire'. Check it out below. 

The band's world tour supporting their latest record, Songs of Innocence, wasn't off to a great start when The Edge came tumbling off stage back in May. They've since found their feet and have recovered enough confidence on stage to invite some friends to join them. The U2 cover band Acrobat were lucky enough to join Bono & the gang for a cover of their Rattle & Hum tune 'Desire' last night in Toronto.

This isn't the first instance of U2 supporting local cover culture having performed an impromtu busking set in disguise for the bystanders of Grand Central Station a few months ago.

Watch fan footage of the collaboration below 

The group are currently on a worldwide iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE tour which will see them stopping off in the UK in October and November. For tickets and more information, click here.

The band's UK dates are as follows:

25, 26, 29, 30 October, 2, 3 November London O2 Arena
