A third U2 show in Sao Paulo
Today, the second show in Sao Paulo on 10 April 2011 went on sale and sold out extremely quickly. Hence, U2.com have confirmed that a third show has been added, on 13 April 2011.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, 20 December 2010. U2.com members can participate in a presale beginning TOMORROW, at 10am local time, Thursday, 16 December. It will run until 8pm, 17 December. It will then be followed by a presale for Citibank customers from 18 to 19 December.
This will be the first time U2 have ever played three concerts in Sao Paulo on one tour. It is the second time they have done three concerts in Brazil; on Popmart in January 1998, they did two in Sao Paulo and one in Rio de Janeiro. Sao Paulo is now the third city to have three consecutive shows on the 360° Tour; Dublin had three in July 2009, and Mexico City has already been confirmed to be getting three in May 2011. Paris, Toronto, Chicago, and East Rutherford can also lay claim to three 360° Tour shows, but they are split over multiple legs of the tour.
Rumour has it that if this third Sao Paulo show sells out, extra shows may be added in Porto Alegre (21 April) and/or Rio de Janeiro (rumours do not specify a date). Take that for what it's worth.
The second show in La Plata, Argentina also went on sale today, and has been selling very strongly. There may well end up being a third show in La Plata too; there appears to be room in the schedule for one to be added. Stay tuned!
