U2 Tour Dates Announced
U2 and Live Nation have released some official tour dates, though the list is not yet complete – this is only the first round on the band’s worldwide 360° tour. The tour is (obviously) being produced by Live Nation Global Touring, and sponsored by Blackberry’s smartphone.
Their first show in this string of stadium performances will take place in Barcelona on June 30.
The band’s manager Paul McGuinness released a statement today that read,
“U2 has always been at their best when surrounded by their audience, this staging takes a giant leap forward. With 85% of the tickets priced at less than €95 [$119.40], general admission floor tickets priced at €55 [$69.12] and at least 10,000 tickets at every venue priced at around €30 [37.70], we have worked very hard to ensure that U2 fans can purchase a great priced ticket with a guaranteed great view.”
I’m betting that this will be one of the top grossing tours of 2009. Who could beat out U2?
Among the tour’s supporting acts will be Snow Patrol, Glasvegas, Elbow, Kaiser Chiefs, and Black Eyed Peas, with more to be announced.
