Watch Bono and The Edge perform at Obama Presidential Center opening ceremony

U2's Bono and the Edge, Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder and Stevie Wonder were among the performers at the Obama Presidential Center's grand opening ceremony.

The concert marked the opening of former US President Barack Obama's Presidential Center, and took place yesterday ahead of its opening today.

The Chicago attraction serves as a monument to the eight years the couple spent in the White House and has been in the works since Obama left the Oval Office a decade ago.

He chose the Jackson Park neighbourhood on the South Side for the 20-acre campus, near the home where they lived before moving to the White House.

Chicago native, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, took to the stage alongside musical non-profit Guitars Over Guns - an organisation that provides students from vulnerable communities with music mentorship. Together, they debuted a new song he wrote with them, 'Better Believe'.

Bono and the Edge, alongside producer Jackknife Lee, performed a stripped-back rendition of 'City Of Blinding Lights', a track from How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, which featured prominently during Obama's presidential campaign rallies.

"We're here representing the Irish in Chicago", said Bono during the performance.

Later, Springsteen took to the stage to perform 'Land of Hopes and Dreams'.

"I'm so glad to be here this afternoon for President Obama and Michelle, Malia and Sasha, you know how I love you all," he said.

"Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually strive to improve this great nation of ours. President Obama and Michelle, you have exemplified that ideal with lives that have served us all with heart and commitment, love and compassion."

Stevie Wonder closed the show with renditions of 'All I Do' and 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)', before inviting Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera, John Legend, Vedder and Springsteen on stage to perform 'Higher Ground'.
