NLOTH Tour

The Irish Examiner has posted news about the upcoming and highly awaited tour.

"The tour will feature a 360-degree central stage and credit crunch-busting ticket prices which, according to unofficial reports, could be as low as €30.

U2 are due to confirm Irish dates at Dublin’s Croke Park on July 24, 25 and 27 and early August concerts at Wembley, Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium and the City Of Manchester Stadium.

The tour is expected to start at Barcelona’s Nou Camp stadium at the end of June, with dates at Stade de France in Paris on July 10 and 11, then Nice, Berlin and Amsterdam before heading to Dublin for an emotional Croke Park homecoming.

U2 then head for the United States and Canada, with tickets for those concerts going on sale on April 4.

In the US, they are due to play New York, Boston, Chicago, Miami and San Francisco.

The band’s 12th studio album No Line on the Horizon came out on Friday in Ireland, Holland, Germany and Australia and will be released in the rest of Europe and North America today.

Tour tickets are to go on sale on March 14 and an instant sell-out is expected.

U2 manager Paul McGuinness revealed the band’s tour details to music industry magazine Music Week.

Arthur Fogel, global touring chief executive of U2’s promoters Live Nation, confirmed the bargain tickets prices.

He said: "There will be extreme [price] tiering. The notion of single-price tickets is not something I have ever embraced. "In this particular [economic] climate, it’s important to really look at tiering carefully."
