U2’s Bono and The Edge have praised Fontaines D.C., Lambrini Girls and Geese, saying the bands’ originality inspires them to raise their own creative standards. The comments underline how established musicians can be influenced by newer acts across different rock scenes.

The Edge called Lambrini Girls’ sound something he would like to hear on a U2 album, and praised Geese and singer Cameron Winter’s solo work. Bono highlighted Winter’s stage presence and described Fontaines D.C. as having an extraordinary quality, also praising singer Grian Chatten and the group’s collaboration with Rosalía. U2 discussed the bands in an interview ahead of their album *Carnaval de Luz*, due on 13 November.
