Their 12th studio album, No Line On The Horizon, is already number 1 in the UK, Ireland, germany, germany, Belgium, Finland, Japan and the Czech Republic with further chart positions to be announced this week.
The band have today confirmed that their U2 U2 360° Tour will open at the Nou Camp Stadium in Barcelona on 30th June. Sponsored by BlackBerry, it’s the band’s first stadium outing since the Vertigo Tour 05/06 and follows the release of their acclaimed album, No Line On The Horizon.

“U2 has always been at their best when surrounded by the audience, this staging takes a giant leap forward. With 85 percent of the tickets priced at less than 95 Euro, general admission floor tickets priced at 55 euro and at least 10,000 tickets at every venue priced at the 30 Euro price range, they’ve worked hard to ensure that U2 fans can purchase a great priced ticket with a guaranteed great view” says U2’s manager Paul McGuinness.
Long-time U2 Show Director Willie Williams has worked again with architect Mark Fisher (ZooTV, PopMart, Elevation and Vertigo), to generate an innovative 360° design which affords an unobstructed view for the audience. U2 360° also marks the first time a band has toured in stadiums with such a distinctive and original structure.
“This tour announcement marks the first stage of a relationship and shared vision between RIM and U2 that they expect will lead to new and innovative ways to enhance the mobile music experience on the BlackBerry platform for U2 fans,” added Paul McGuinness. “We look forward to sharing more details as the relationship unfolds.”
Arthur Fogel, CEO Global Touring/Chairman – Global Music Live Nation: “Following the overwhelming worldwide success of the Vertigo tour where every obtainable ticket was sold, there is tremendous anticipation for this tour and to experience this revolutionary production. As usual fans won’t be disappointed.”
In keeping with their long-standing tradition, U2 will welcome a few of different support acts to the tour including Glasvegas, Elbow, Kaiser Chiefs and Snow Patrol with additional artists to be announced.
