Tour announcement on 9 March
Update 09/03: The tour has now been announced.
Rumours have been flying over the last couple of weeks about an imminent tour announcement. Some have pinpointed the first week of March for the announcement. Well, here's some actual news. Hot Press are reporting that the tour announcement will be on the 9th of March. There will be approximately 25 shows in Europe and another 25 in North America before Christmas, with the first European ticket sales expected to commence on the 14th or 15th of March.
The tour will be in stadiums. The band are pursuing a 360-degree "in the round" set-up that necessitates a stadium setting according to promoter Arthur Fogel. Indoor arenas and flat-field festival venues will thus not be venues on this tour. Ticket prices will be extremely scaled, and Fogel emphasises that price tiers have been given special consideration in light of the current economic climate. Although stopping short of confirmation, Hot Press indicate that U2's Dublin concerts should take place at Croke Park on 24, 25, and 27 July.
