Eagles of Death Metal have joined U2 on stage in an emotional return to Paris after the massacre at the Bataclan concert hall.
"They were robbed of their stage three weeks ago and we would like to offer them ours tonight," said frontman Bono as he hugged the band's lead singer Jesse Hughes.
The crowd cheered and sang along as the two groups joined together for a version of Patti Smith song People Have The Power.
U2 then left the stage and the American band performed I Love You All The Time, telling the crowd: "Thank you Paris - we love you. We will never give up rocking and rolling."
Ninety people were shot dead during the Eagles of Death Metal gig at the city's Bataclan venue last month.
Briton Nick Alexander, from Colchester, worked for the band and was among those killed. The band previously said he "bled out" in silence to save other people.
U2 were playing at the AccorHotels Arena after previously cancelling gigs in the wake of the Paris attacks - and first returned to the stage on Sunday night.
They dropped hints last week about "special guests" joining them on stage at the two rescheduled concerts.
During the gig, Bono urged the 16,000-capacity arena: "We must also think of the terrorists' families ... I know it is hard right now."
The singer said they too had been victims of "an ideology that is a perversion of the beautiful religion of Islam".
