U2 play Paris’ AccorHotels Arena this Sunday and if reports are to believed, Eagles of Death Metal will join them for the final song.

According to this piece in Billboard, the band will return to Paris for the first time since the horrific terror attacks of November 13th.

It is also believed that Josh Homme, co-founder of EODM who doesn’t always tour with them, will also play on the night.

U2 are also set to play the AccorHotels Arena on Monday night, when HBO will premiere the U2: Innocence + Experience Live in Paris, airing at 9pm.

The U2 shows scheduled for this Sunday and Monday were originally scheduled for November 14th and 15th but were cancelled as a mark of respect for the victims of the Paris attacks.

130 people died in the atrocities. 79 were killed at the Bataclan theatre, the venue of the Eagles of Death Metal concert.

One of the victims was Nick Alexander, merchandise manager for Eagles of Death Metal.
