U2 will perform for free next month in front of the Brandenburg Gate to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. It'll happen on November 5th as part of the MTV Europe Music Awards, and will be shown during the ceremony at Berlin's O2 World arena. The Berlin Wall came down on November 9, 1989.

In the news release about U2's performance, manager Paul McGuinness says: "It'll be an exciting spot to be in, 20 years almost to the day since the wall came down. Should be fun."

There's no mention of how long U2 will perform, but a very detailed ticketing plan is already in place:

Tickets to attend MTV EMAs present U2 at the Brandenburg Gate will be free of charge and available by registering on www.u2.com or www.mtvema.com from 9pm (CET) on Wednesday 28 October 2009. Tickets, which will take the form of a bar-coded e-ticket, will be available on a first-come, first-served basis and will be restricted to a maximum of 2 per applicant. Access to the performance will be strictly via one advance, scanned e-ticket per person. Tickets will not be available on the night of the show.
